  What, then, can a broken heart do?
  Will it breathe in and out?
  Hold its breath and turn blue?
  Do the lights go out? Can it blow a fuse?
  Can it make rhymes like Dr. Seuss?
  What can a broken heart do?

  Where, then, can the broken heart go?
  Will it hungrily hunt
  When its down in the dumps?
  or write bad verses
  with whining and curses?
  Where can the broken heart go?

  What now does the broken heart know?
  Will it be able to go with the flow?
  Will it let time heal its pain?
  Will it find itself in another love game?
  The broken heart only knows how to play nice
  The broken heart throws three blank dice
