Broken Heart Songs - Joel Plaskett

I like broken heart songs but this ain’t one of ‘em

I didn’t step to the mic just to tell you I’m down

I can hear the blues behind me and I’m out running ‘em

With love on my brain and my feet on the ground

I like precious memories but I’m not faking one

Cause it’s gonna get messy if we’re speaking our minds

If I don’t make a promise then I won’t be breaking one

And if I break your heart, you don’t gotta break mine

There are so many things to be angry about

Maybe we could take just a quick time out

There’s always somebody suffering in the room next door

Grab ‘em by the hand, pull ‘em out onto the dance floor

What you call country music sounds more like Bon Jovi

It used to piss me off, now it kinda turns me on

Just because you knew me, doesn’t mean you know me

Just because I’m right, that doesn’t mean you’re wrong

There are so many things to be angry about

Maybe we could take just a quick time out

There’s always somebody suffering in the room next door

Hands start clappin' when the going gets tough

This is what happens when you turn me up

I don’t wanna argue, I don’t want no altercation

I’ll pretend it’s Christmas and wish upon a star

I’ll pour a glass of whiskey and wait for inspiration

And if it don’t show up, I’ve still got my guitar
