What a Broken Heart Can do

I'm just a freak here at the sideshow
Where all the people can look at me
Between the strong man and the tattooed lady
I'm here to look at, not to see

They pay their fifty seconds and walk on through
They quickly glance and look away
And through my glass wools I can watch them
Hold, there's the children cross to say

That's what a broken heart can do
It's why the angels ignore her
That's what a broken heart can do
There is no wire or strings
She lost everything
But I promise that it won't happen to you

I see all the young couples passing by
And watch them catch each other tight
Then one will whisper to the other
Please, won't you stay with me tonight?

I've seen the hard looks and the empty stares
I've heard the sighs and silent screams
I've felt the pain that comes when no ones cares
Know the ache of your worst dreams

This is what a broken heart can do
It's why the angels ignore me
This is what a broken heart can do
There is no wire or strings
I've lost everything
Don't be sure that it won't happen to you
