lyrics

Broken dreams for sale, I don’t need them anymore
Guaranteed to fail and leave you worse off than before
Broken dreams for free, they’re no good to me
They take up all the empty space where something new could be

How long must I go on paying the price for failing to learn
Not to give my heart away without the promise of return

Broken heart for rent, someone heaven -sent
To occupy the vacancy and take the place where love should be ‘cos
“Broken hearts’r’us”, a name that you can trust
Sure to turn your precious love to hopelessness and dust

It seemed as good a time as any to do a spot of spring-cleaning
Choices are so hard, so many, I want the one that has some meaning
For someone who
Is sorting through

Broken dreams for sale, at a price that’s far too high
Guaranteed to fail no matter how you try
Broken dreams for free, though they dearly cost me
Take the lot and I’ll see what tomorrows’ dreams will be
