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 alone


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
He's the King of Broken Hearts


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 thinks that he's no fool
He's a little bit 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
