The Best Songs Come From Broken Hearts - Nashville Cast, Connie Britton

I stood in the street in the pouring rain

Didn’t give a damn about anything

I said take me

Oh Lord, just take me

I went back in the house, picked up this guitar

And somehow my fingers found their way to my heart

And it saved me

Oh Lord, it saved me

I’m not proud of my mistakes

But thanks to you, I’ve got so much to say

Cause the best songs come from broken hearts

From busted dreams and beat up guitars

It’s times like these, when I’m down on my knees

It’s true

Yeah, you gotta dig deep within the well of your soul

To find the will to sing the words that only you know

About going through hell and living to tell the truth

But the best songs come from broken hearts

I fell for a dream, It was not what it seemed

By the time I woke up I had lost everything

Thought I’d die without you

But I came to life without you

Yeah, cause God has a way of working things out

If not for the music, where would I be now?

I’m gonna write about you

You bet I’m gonna write about you

Cause despite the obvious mistake

Thanks to you, now I’ve got so much to say

Cause the best songs come from broken hearts

From busted dreams and beat up guitars

It’s times like these, when I’m down on my knees

It’s true

Yeah, you gotta dig deep within the well of your soul

To find the will to sing the words that only you know

About going through hell and living to tell the truth

But the best songs come from broken hearts

Yeah, you gotta dig deep within the well of your soul

To find the will to sing the words that only you know

About going through hell and living to tell the truth

Living to tell the truth

Cause the best songs come from

The best songs come from

The best songs come from broken hearts

Yeah, broken hearts
