Born with a Broken Heart

It's heartbreaking, all the things I've been hoping for
Are working out as I leave this town
As I leave this town
And I never understood why the timing wasn't right
Or why I can't hold my ground
Just hold my ground

I just keep a-running away, hoping I'm running towards
Better days, yeah

Well, she left me wanting more each day
Wishing I could change my ways
Get us a better place
So I run these roads trying to get away
To prove that I'm not afraid
Just trying to hold my faith

Oh, I just keep a-running away, hoping I'm running towards
Just running towards better days, yeah
I'm running towards better days, yeah

I ain't ever been a man who liked it when it rains
Never quite liked the way I sang
We never had a chance from the start anyways
I was born with a broken heart
Yes, I was born with a broken heart

Guess I took too long on my way back home
She didn't have the time to wait
I never had the patience to stay, no
An empty house is a lonely place
It's hard to keep the ghosts away
With no one to say it's okay

So I just keep running away, oh, hoping I'm running towards
Just running towards better days, yeah
I'm running towards better days

I ain't ever been a man who liked it when it rains
Never quite liked the way I sang
We never had a chance from the start anyways
I was born with a broken heart
Yes, I was born with a broken heart, yeah

I was born with a broken heart
I was born with a broken heart
