[Chorus]
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
[Verse 1]
This little blue bird
Came looking for you
I said that I hadn’t seen you
In quite some time
This little blue bird
She came looking again
I said we weren’t even friends
She could have you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you think it was hard?
I didn’t even say that you died
But it wouldn’t have been such a lie
Cause then I started to cry
[Verse 2]
This little blue bird
Sure won’t give it a rest
She swears that you may be better than all the rest
I said "no you’ve got it all wrong
If he was something special I wouldn’t have this song"
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you think it was hard
I didn’t even say that you died
But it wouldn’t have been such a lie
Cause then I started to cry
[Chorus]
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
[Bridge]
What if when she comes over I am in your arms
Taking all I want from you again
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
[Chorus]
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
[Outro]
This little blue bird
Don’t come around here anymore
So I went looking for her
And I found you
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
[Verse 1]
This little blue bird
Came looking for you
I said that I hadn’t seen you
In quite some time
This little blue bird
She came looking again
I said we weren’t even friends
She could have you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you think it was hard?
I didn’t even say that you died
But it wouldn’t have been such a lie
Cause then I started to cry
[Verse 2]
This little blue bird
Sure won’t give it a rest
She swears that you may be better than all the rest
I said "no you’ve got it all wrong
If he was something special I wouldn’t have this song"
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you think it was hard
I didn’t even say that you died
But it wouldn’t have been such a lie
Cause then I started to cry
[Chorus]
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
[Bridge]
What if when she comes over I am in your arms
Taking all I want from you again
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
[Chorus]
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it’s torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
Beating again ba-ba-ba-ba
[Outro]
This little blue bird
Don’t come around here anymore
So I went looking for her
And I found you
