Broken Hearted Me
Billy Yates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Broken hearted me here I am
Right back where I began
Tell me where did I go wrong

Broken hearted me all I do
Is spend my nights missin' you
I wanta go back where I belong
When you told me we were over
I couldn't find the words to say
I wanted to cry on your shoulder
But sometimes cryin' stands in the way

Broken hearted me here I am
Right back where I began
Tell me where did I go wrong

Broken hearted me all I do
Is spend my nights missin' you
I wanta go back where I belong

Wish I could say how much I need you
Even more than I did then
Right now I just long to hold you
In these lovin' arms again

Broken hearted me here I am
Right back where I began
Tell me where did I go wrong

Broken hearted me all I do
Is spend my nights missin' you
I wanta go back where I belong





Take me back where I belong
