Armed With A Broken Heart
John Guirka
Take this as a warning, to stay away from me.
'Cos the one that you used to know is not the one
that you're gonna see.
Someday we may laugh at this. Someday we may be friends.
But, for now you can keep you distance.
Stay away 'till the pieces mend.
This sudden loneliness has made me dangerous,
please don't watch me while I fall apart.
'Cos I'm sad and I'm angry and
I'm armed with a broken heart.
You know I will do anything, if it will keep you away.
But, I don't know what l'd do, if you said you were gonna stay.
Don't do me any favours, don't try to ease the pain
Won't you please let me hate you now,
so I won't fall for you again.
This sudden loneliness has made me dangerous
please don't watch me when I fall apart
'Cos I'm sad and I'm angry and
I'm armed with a broken heart
And what will get me through the night, is what I'll use with all my might
and to some peace I have a right but I pay so deeply.
And at my age I should be wise, now I'm untying all those ties.
The evidence in the eyes, that once saw so clearly, I once saw so clearly.
So take this as a warning to stay away from me.
'Cos the one that you used to know is not the one that you're gonna see.
Someday we may laugh at this, someday we maybe friends.
But, for now you can keep your distance,
Stay away till the pieces mend
This sudden loneliness has made me dangerous
Please don't watch me while I fall apart.
'Cos I'm sad and I'm angry and I'm armed with a broken heart
Yes, I'm sad and I'm angry and I'm armed with a broken heart
