You're looking through your window
Into the neon light
You try to forget him
But the feeling keeps you up all night
Flashback, flashback, flashback
Only come from an abstract mind

I look back
I see you in your frame
I only wish I could climb through
But the wall around it stops me all the same
Flashback, flashback
Only come from an abstract mind

(One divided heart)
Divided hearts
(Two divided hearts)
Why do they break
We watch them fall to pieces on the ground

(One divided heart)
Divided hearts
(Two divided hearts)
Why do they break
And we are left with our divided hearts, oh

A standing conversation
Down at the Pink Café
You tellin' me you got reason
But I just can't hear a single word you say
Flashback, flashback
Only color the abstract mind

(One divided heart)
Divided hearts
(Two divided hearts)
Why do they break
We watch them fall to pieces on the ground

(One divided heart)
Divided hearts
(Two divided hearts)
The chance we take
And we are left with our divided hearts, oh

(One divided heart)
Divided hearts
(Two divided hearts)
Why do they break
And we are left
With our divided hearts

(One divided heart) oh, oh
(Two divided hearts)
And we are left
With our divided hearts
Our divided hearts

(One divided heart)
Divided hearts
(Two divided hearts)
Why do they break
And we are left
With our divided hearts

(One divided heart)
(Two divided hearts)

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
