Derek Webb - I Want A Broken Heart lyrics

I've got faith in the bank and money in my heart

I've got a calloused place where your ring used to be, my love

I've traded naked and unashamed

For a better place to hide

For a righteous mask, a suit of fig leaves and lies

I thought the cattle on a thousand hills

Was not enough to pay my bills

And I fell in love with those who proved me wrong

And now I want a broken heart

Now there's a great pad lock

On the place where I was free

And I'm feeling bad from swallowing that key

Now I work real hard but I mostly call in sick

Of a broken back from the ground fighting back at me

I cannot look you in the eye

So I check the knots on my disguise

'Cause I fell in love with fashio in the dark

And now I want a broken heart

I've got alibis for every crime

A sbustitute to do my time

'Cause Your heart breaks enough on both our parts

So now I want a broken heart

Now I want a broken heart

Now I want a broken heart
