Little Broken Hearts (Live on Letterman)

"Little Broken Hearts"


Little broken hearts of the night

Slowly picking up their knives

On the way to the fight

Tonight they want revenge


Beautiful soldiers in their beds

Making love inside their hands

With no chance to defend

Tonight could be their end


With the weapons in their hands

And their eyes closed as they stand

Can they end it all tonight so easily?


Did the darkness of their days

Make them let go of their light?

Will they want to find a way

To make it all right?


When the beautiful awake

See the sadness in their eyes

Will they want to find a way

To make it all right,

To make it all right?


Only the fallen need to rise

What if lightning strikes them twice?

Will they give up on their lives

And finally divide?


Did the darkness of their days

Make them let go of their light?

Can they ever find a way

To sleep side by side?


When the beautiful awake

See the sadness in their eyes

Will they ever find a way

To sleep side by side,

To sleep side by side,

To sleep side by side?
