Since our love broke down and fell I've been tryin' to get well And to heal the wound you left here in my heart Lyin' cryin' in my bed prayin' wishin' I was dead Just a patience in the ward broken hearts Oh how heartsick I am here all alone A young fool in the ol' lover's home What a shame my first romance left me cryin' in a trance All alone in the ward of broken hearts Never thought our love could ever come to this But I caught a broken heart from your kiss When you write I'm sorry dear send your letter to me here I'll be waiting in the ward of broken hearts
