This Is What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

by Maxïmo Park

on The National Health (2012)

Human nature,
Is on a loop.
Spare me a moment
To regroup.
The biggest
Mistake of all -
I didn't return your call.

The biggest mistake of all,
My explanations stall.

And if you wonder why,
I write these words.
I'm trying to describe,
How my heart hurts.
I never tried to be over-familiar,
Formality strikes when we talk of the future.
I couldn't wait for you.

I wish I could be honest with you,
And now I've already started.
Commitment never seemed like a risk,
But that's the way it is.
I told you this could never begin,
But now it's already started.
This love won't go away,
This is what becomes of the brokenhearted.
The broken-hearted.
This is what becomes of the brokenhearted.

Human nature,
Is on a loop.
Spare me a moment
To regroup.
The biggest mistake of all -
I didn't return your call.

The biggest mistake of all,
My explanations stall.

And if you wonder why,
I write these words.
I'm trying to describe,
How my heart hurts.
I never tried to be over-familiar,
Formality strikes when we talk of the future.
I couldn't wait for you.

I wish I could be honest with you,
And now I've already started.
Commitment never seemed like a risk,
But that's the way it is.

This could never begin, (never begin)
And now it's already started.
This love won't go away,
This is what becomes of the broken hearted.

The broken hearted.
This is what becomes of the broken hearted.

Ooh the broken hearted.
This is what becomes of the broken hearted
