Downhearted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I left my heart back in the Orient
Down on Bali bays
It's not the way that I should feel
But it's the way I'm gonna stay

[Chorus]
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started, yeah
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

[Verse 2]
It seems all wrong to be back home
There's no end in sight
Should I be made to drag you through
This lovers' endless fight?

[Chorus]
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started, yeah
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started, yeah
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

[Verse 3]
I sometimes think that we should stay
Happy on the farm
I sometimes think I'll give it all away
This love and all its charms

[Chorus]
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started, yeah
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started, yeah
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started, yeah
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

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 [?]
