The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
And he has quite a few of them
They know he will understand

That's just the way it goes
The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
He's tryin' to forget other things

Like some old ship at sea, he's walkin' through life alone

[Chorus:]

He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
He recalls how his heart got broken

And how it's still that way
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
He can smile while he's cryin' inside

We know he'll be brave tonight 'cause he's the king of broken
hearts


[Chorus]

The king of broken hearts thinks that he's no fool

He's a little like me and you
So what's a king like that supposed to do with all that blue
time

We know he'll be brave tonight
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts
He's the king of broken hearts.
