Nothing More Whole Than A Broken Heart Lyrics

It must have always been this way
Because when I look back there’s never any before
Yeah, I’ve always had this heaviness
That makes me wonder
If I can keep on willing the cold away
If there’s anything else out there anyway
Don’t you know there’s nothing, there’s nothing
More whole than a broken heart


I get by on my faith and I don’t know any other way
But it isn’t joyful, just survival
A voice saying it’ll be okay
Only love can turn this grief around
But there’s no one here now
Don’t you know there’s nothing, there’s nothing
More whole than a broken heart

[Chorus]
Because I don’t believe in innocence
But I know how much we’ve lost

And somehow we know we’re not too far gone
There’s nothing wrong with us
Don’t you know there’s nothing, there’s nothing
More whole than a broken heart
Nothing, there’s nothing more whole than a broken heart
All the times that I have tried so hard, put everything on the line
My failures collect, so much regret, seems to be a sign
But we’ve still got something left to give
To live for, let’s try to love again
Don’t you know there’s nothing, there’s nothing
More whole than a broken heart

[Chorus]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
