The One Who Broke Your Heart lyrics

All the beautiful people - they did some work on your face
And in that struggle for freedom - everyone looks the same (that's right)
And everybody is pregnant - and everybody's in pain
We're all pushin' and shovin' - to make those human beings

Although they say you're aristocracy (that's what they say)
We all deserve to wear that crown

Sing-along - with the one who broke your heart (you know you do)
Sing-aloud - it will keep you safe and warm (that's right)

In the Garden of Eden - on a hot summer day
We were totally naked - outside that small cafe
Am I the one you imagined - am I heaven or hell?
But no one else can compare to - the way you love yourself (you know you do)

I came to tell you on this bicycle
The trees and houses say hello

Sing-along - with the one who broke your heart (you know you do)
Sing-aloud - it will keep you safe and warm (that's right)
I dreamed a dream - in the middle of the night (I guess I did)
I sing-along - to open up those teary eyes

Faster and faster - and no one's holdin' the wheel
Interstate highway - through those cities and fields
Your friends and family - they tell your secrets to me
S'not so impressive - until they all disappear

Sing-along - with the one who broke your heart (you know you do)
I dreamed a dream - wake up and there you are
