Walkin' down this midnight street Just the sound of two lonely feet Walkin' a broken heart Walkin' a broken heart Empty city, not a soul in sight And a misty rain falls on a perfect night To walk a broken heart To walk a broken heart And I know that you're thinkin' This couldn't happen to you But you're a fool for believing Dreams don't fly away, cause they do. So if you've been hurt and you're feelin' lost Just put your paperback back and turn your t.v. off And walk your broken heart, Walk your broken heart. Walk your broken heart. Walk your broken heart. Walk your broken heart.
