Walkin' down this midnight street
Just the sound of two lonely feet
Walkin' a broken heart
Walkin' a broken heart

Empty city, not a soul in sight
And a misty rain falls on a perfect night
To walk a broken heart
To walk a broken heart

And I know that you're thinkin'
This couldn't happen to you
But you're a fool for believing
Dreams don't fly away, cause they do.

So if you've been hurt and you're feelin' lost
Just put your paperback back and turn your t.v. off
And walk your broken heart,
Walk your broken heart.
Walk your broken heart.
Walk your broken heart.
Walk your broken heart.
