You made up your mind it was over 
After we had come so far.
But I think there's enough pieces of forgiveness.
Somewhere in broken heart.

I would not have chosen the road you have taken.
It has left us miles apart.
But I think I can still find the will to keep going.
Somewhere in my broken heart.

So fly, go ahead and fly until you find out to you are.
I will keep my love unspoken.
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I hope that in time you will find what you long for love that's 
Written in the stars and when you finally do.
I think you'll see it's somewhere in my broken heart.
Girl, I will keep my love unspoken somewhere in my broken 
Heart.

I hope that in time you will find what you long for. 
Love that's written in the stars.
And when you finally do. 
I think you will see it's somewhere in my broken heart.

Somewhere in my broken heart.
Somewhere in my broken heart.
Somewhere in my broken heart.
