The king of broken hearts doesn`t ask much from his friends
And he has quite a few of them
They know he`ll understand
That`s just the way it goes
The king of broken hearts doesn`t know he`s a king
He`s trying to forget other things
Like some ol` chilly scenes
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
`Cause 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 this way
The king of broken hearts thinks that he`s an ol` fool
He`s a little bit like me and you
So what`s a king like that suppose 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...
