Mark Heard - Age Of The Broken Heart lyrics

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 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 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 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 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 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
