Broken Heart of Gold Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I move along, something's wrong
I guess a part of me is gone
Skies are gray, start to fade
I guess I threw it all away

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wanna quit
Tell my life I'm done with it
When it feels too painful (Oh)
Sometimes I just wanna say
"I love myself, but not today"
When it feels too painful
I smash my broken heart of gold
I smash my broken heart of gold

[Verse 2]
Tired soul, dying hope
I guess I'm running out of road
I guess I've got nowhere

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wanna quit
Tell my life I'm done with it
When it feels too painful (Oh)
Sometimes I just wanna say
"I love myself, but not today"
When it feels too painful
I smash my broken heart of gold
I smash my broken heart of gold
I smash my broken heart of gold
[Bridge]
Feels like I'm dying
Feels like I'm lying to myself
I know that I'm trying
But it feels like I'm in Hell, I'm in Hell

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wanna quit
Tell my life I'm done with it
When it feels too painful (Oh)
Sometimes I just wanna say
"I love myself, but not today"
When it feels too painful
I smash my broken heart of gold
I smash my broken heart of gold
I smash my broken heart of gold

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
