New Song: The World Don't Stop for a Broken Heart

Verse 1:
I would give you the world if I had to.
Anything to prove my love.
I'd raise the hills, I'd crush the mountains,
Drain the ocean of their floods.

But you gave me the coldest shoulder,
And a note that said you're never coming back.
I thought I did ev'rything right,
Then why's my heart under attack?

Chorus:
The world don't stop spinnin' cause I cry.
The clock don't stop tickin'; I just watch time fly by.
My heart is achin', the world is breakin', it's fallin' apart.
But the world don't stop for a broken heart.
No, the world don't stop for a broken heart.

Verse 2:
I thought the sun shone only for you.
I thought the stars glittered in your name.
I thought I meant it when I said I love you.
I guess I thought you felt the same.

Chorus:
The world don't stop spinnin' cause I cry.
The clock don't stop tickin'; I just watch time fly by.
My heart is achin', the world is breakin', it's fallin' apart.
But the world don't stop for a broken heart.
No, the world don't stop for a broken heart.

Bridge:
There's something about the way,
You looked on that final day,
The day that you said goodbye...
There's something that you said,
Something that's stuck in my head,
That day you told me not to cry--

Final Chours:
The world don't stop spinnin' cause I cry.
The clock don't stop tickin'; I won't watch life pass me by.
My heart is achin', the world's not breakin', not fallin' apart.
The world don't stop for a broken heart.
No, the world don't stop for a broken heart.
And if the world don't stop for a broken heart,
Then I won't stop for my broken heart.
