The King of Broken Hearts doesn't ask much from his friends 
And he has quite a few of them 
They know he will understand 
That's just the way it goes 

The King of Broken Hearts doesn't know he's a king 
He's tryin' to forget other things 
Like some old ship at sea 
He's walkin' through alone 

He talks to angels 
And the stars start to spin 
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in 
He recalls how his heart got broken 
And how it's still that way 

The King of Broken Hearts is so sad and wise 
He can smile while he's cryin' inside 
We know he'll be brave tonight 
He's the King of Broken Hearts 

He talks to angels 
And the stars start to spin 
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in 
He recalls how his heart got broken 
And how it's still that way 

The King of Broken Hearts thinks that he's no fool 
He's a little bit like me and you 
So what's a King like that supposed to do 
With all that blue time 
We know he'll be brave tonight 
Cause he's the King of Broken Hearts 
King of Broken Hearts
