What A Broken Heart Can Do
Keith Walker Lyrics

Use to think that there'd come a day When my broken heart would just stop beating And they'd find me lifeless Holdin' on to a picture of you
I used to hope that my grief will come to an end someday, and I would eventually pass away, clutching a picture of you.

But every morning that same sun Came shinin' through my dusty blinds And brought on another day I had to pull on through I won't lie it was tough Yeah it hurt like hell to just get up
Despite the everyday reminder of my loss, I had to keep moving on, even though it was an arduous process and it hurt immensely.

But I – Picked up my feet and put my life back together piece by piece Till that man in the mirror started lookin' a lot more like me Then it hit me when I went three days Without thinkin' bout you It's amazing, kinda crazy What a broken heart can do
I chose to rebuild my life slowly and steadily until I regained my identity. And one day, I realized that I didn't think of you for three days straight, which made me realize that a broken heart can indeed heal and evolve.

Yeah I burnt some pictures and cursed your name Texted you at 4 AM Trying to change your mind but you never wrote me back And even though I wondered how you'd been when I ran into your mom and dad As much as I wanted to - No I never even asked It wouldn't a changed you being gone So I smiled and said it's good to see them and kept movin' on
I went through a phase of anger and attempted to reach out to you, but eventually realized that it wouldn't make things better. Even when I saw your parents, I didn't ask about you and kept moving forward with my life.

And just – Picked up my feet and put my life back together piece by piece Till that man in the mirror started lookin' a lot more like me Then it hit me when I went three months without thinkin' bout you It's amazing, kinda crazy What a broken heart can do
Again, I kept rebuilding my life and found that I went for three months without thinking about you, which made me realize that a broken heart can indeed heal and strengthen.

And now I can smile when I think about us Thinkin' how I use to think I knew what love was Cause right now my wife's curled up on the couch – fast asleep It's just the two of us but in two months – it's gonna be three Until tonight it'd been years since I thought about you It's amazing, kinda crazy What a broken heart can do
Now, I can fondly remember our past together, and I realize how much I've grown since then. I have a wife who is asleep beside me, and we are expecting our third child. It's been years since you crossed my mind, and it's a testament to the strength and resilience of a broken heart.
