Lyrics
~ LOVE'S A BROKEN RECORD, I CANT
----------------------------------------
BRING MYSELF TO PLAY ~
----------------------------------------
Well that mail box
Now it's been empty
Ever since you went
And moved away last May,
And that old train
Still howls sometimes
But it weeps all night
And cries out in pain every single day,
Well all those records
You left behind
Well they're still in boxes
And stored away,
But I see no comfort
In those old songs
That made us dance once
But don't today,
But I don't wanna hear 'em,
Singin' those old songs,
I drop the needle but I don't press for them to play,
Cause love's a record,
Love's a record,
Love's a broken record and I know every word by heart break,
Love's a broken record,
But I don't dance now and you're not here to sway.
Well I miss those evenings
When the sun had gone down
And we'd stand there dancing
As the night grew late,
Slowly dancing
in the kitchen
an old record playing,
all the songs that I now hate,
well the oven was still warm,
Dirty pots and pans
And in the sink
stacks of dinner plates,
Love goes quickly
Love goes cold
Love is easy
if it's real
and hopeless
untill it's bold,
I had fortune
I had mine
I had everything to make a man
satisfied for all time,
But that all changed
And it's stayed this way,
Ever since the day moved away last may,
But I don't wanna hear 'em,
Singin' those old songs,
I drop the needle but I cant press play,
Cause love's a broken record,
Love's a broken record,
Love's a broken record,
Love's a broken record,
But all I hear these days is heartbreak
