Next Heartbreak Songtext
von Slaid Cleaves

I saw it comin′ but it came down hard as a stone
Laid my brother down in his grave
We had one last whiskey over his bones
He was a fighter but he knew he was facing the end
Hope I'm as brave when it comes my time
And we′re gathered round the bedside again

I don't wonder about it anymore
Now I know how much a heart can take
I count my blessings and I carry on
Until the next heartbreak

I hold my wife a little closer now in the dark
I say a prayer for the ones I know
Who make it through the night with just one heart
Got through the hard times, boxed 'em up in the past
Back to the living, back to sunny days
But we′re old enough to know it won′t last


I don't wonder about it anymore
Now I know how much a heart can take
I count my blessings and I carry on
Until the next heartbreak

You chop wood, carry water, should be simple enough
Till you′re down on your knees, looking up
At the sky with a fear that you're not that tough
All is quiet now, but the mind races on
Reach for the bottle on the old nightstand
Good times keep rolling along

I don′t wonder about it anymore
Now I know how much a heart can take
I count my blessings and I carry on
I don't wonder about it anymore
Now I know how much a heart can take
I count my blessings and I carry on
Until the next heartbreak
