Age of the Broken Heart Lyrics by Mark Heard

Ashes and Light

0

[Verse 1]
She gets his letter and she reads it well
With tears on her face
He says he's leaving her but he feels no disgrace
He can't pity her while he pities himself
[Chorus]
Living in the age of the broken heart
In the age of the broken heart
We take it so hard
We drive ourselves insane
We make things worse
And we aggravate the pain
Living in the age of the broken heart
In the age of the broken heart
So what is the crime
In crying out to God
In the black of the night
I must let down my guard
[Verse 2]
Every day as she drives downtown
She's distant and cold
The rear-view mirror reveals her soul
She forces a smile
But it comes out a frown
[Chorus]
Living in the age of the broken heart
In the age of the broken heart
We take it so hard
We drive ourselves insane
We make things worse
And we aggravate the pain
Living in the age of the broken heart
In the age of the broken heart
So what is the crime
In crying out to God
In the black of the night
I must let down my guard
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
She's fought a war with her callousness
And her callousness won
She would deny it but the words won't come
Acting like she don't care is her only defense
[Chorus]
Living in the age of the broken heart
Living in the age of the broken heart
We take it so hard
We drive ourselves insane
We make things worse
And we aggravate the pain
Living in the age of the broken heart
In the age of the broken heart
So what is the crime
In crying out to God
In the black of the night
I must let down my guard
[Outro]
Let down my guard
Let down my guard
