Last night I saw it clearly, like a sky at break of day
That shadow in your gaze, I just couldn't explain
I thought you were my shelter, my peace, my morning light
But you come from wild nights, where nothing ever feels right
Blues of a broken heart, there's no way to make it whole
You played with my soul, and left me all alone
Blues of a broken heart, your lies tie me down
How can I not see your chains, when the fault is my own
You told me I was your king, but you belonged to the street
The lights of endless parties, always pulled you to their beat
And while I dreamed of giving you, a better life to own
Your lips were whispering another name, another home
Now I would see the laughter, the sighs in the dead of night
Those long hours you'd vanish, never coming back to light
I was blind, I was foolish, for believing in your grace
Blues is my redemption, my truth in your disgrace
Blues of a broken heart, there's no way to make it whole
You played with my soul, and left me all alone
Blues of a broken heart, your lies tie me down
How can I not see your chains, when the fault is my own
Here I am still singing, with my guitar in my hand
Holding on to this hollow, you left deep in my chest
Maybe one day you'll understand, when you're lost in the dark
That a man who truly loved, will never look back
Blues of a broken heart, you left deep in my chest
