Born With a Broken Heart Songtext
von The Americans

Come over and alone now
Don′t wreck me through the phone, now
I was yours not so long ago
And you, all alone, not a soul at your side

Since you went away and left me
I've been watering a dead seed
With love for no one
And eyes for everyone

Meet me in a darkened doorway
Speak the words I long to hear you say
Let your reckless body
Lead you astray

Weather out the storm with me
Two weak candles in the dark
I know you′re just like me
Born with a broken heart


You hold me in your pale arms
Away from everything that does harm
Nimble fingers, tracing in the dark
The shape of our plain and painless love

Traveling fast in the backseat
No one's got eyes on the road
But you keep looking at me
Letting go

Meet me in a darkened doorway
Tell me now, before we pull apart
Were you born just like me
With a broken heart?

I'm not tough, but I made myself tough for you
No, I′m not cruel, but I made myself cruel for you

Meet me in a darkened doorway
Now that you have said your part
Were you born just like me
With a broken heart?
