I stood in the street in the pouring rain Didn't give a damn about anything I said take me Oh Lord, just take me I went back in the house Picked up this guitar And somehow my fingers found Their way to my heart And it save me Oh Lord, it saved me I'm not proud of my mistakes But thanks to you I've got so much to say Cause the best songs come from broken hearts From busted dreams and beat up guitars From times like these When I'm down on my knees It's true Ya gotta dig deep within The well of your soul To find the will to sing the words That only you know About going through hell and Living to tell the truth But the best songs come from broken hearts I fell for a dream It was not what it seemed By the time I woke up I had lost everything Thought I'd die without you But I came to life without you Yeah cause God has a way of working things out If not for the music where would I be now I'm gonna write about you You bet I'm gonna write about you Cause despite the obvious mistake Thanks to you, now I've got so much to say Cause the best songs come from broken hearts From busted dreams and beat up guitars From times like these When I'm down on my knees It's true Ya gotta dig deep within The well of your soul To find the will to sing the words That only you know About going through hell and Living to tell the truth But the best songs come from broken hearts Yeah ya gotta dig deep within The well of your soul To find the will to sing the words That only you know About goin through hell and Living to tell the truth But I'm willing to tell the truth Cause the best songs come from Ooh the best songs come from Yeah the best songs come from broken hearts
