[Verse 1]
Here comes that feeling
I've seen in your eyes
Back in the old days
Before the hard times

[Chorus 1]
But I'm not afraid anymore
It's only a broken heart

[Verse 2]
I know the place where
You keep your secrets
Out of the sunshine
Down in a valley

[Chorus 1]
But I'm not afraid anymore
It's only a broken heart

[Bridge]
What would I give
To start all over again?
To clean up my mistakes?

[Verse 3]
Stand in the moonlight
Stand under heaven
Wait for an answer
Hold out forever

[Chorus 2]
But don't be afraid anymore
It's only a broken heart

[Bridge]
What would I give
To start all over again?
To clean up my mistakes?

[Verse 4]
I know your weakness
You've seen my dark side
The end of the rainbow
Is always a long ride

[Chorus 2]
But don't be afraid anymore
It's only a broken heart
It's only a broken heart

Tom Petty

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
