Broken Heart, or Anyhow

You have told me: “Hey, I’m sorry, friend,
Our love next day would come to an end”
Like you are a girl hence a summer bird
And you didn’t love but were here to flirt

Like we fooled around and I stole your time
Now I’m good to go hanging with my tribe
Netting butterflies ‘bout the courtyard
And you probably would send a postcard

I don’t know, don’t really know how
But my broken heart is beating so loud now
I don’t know, don’t really know how
But I live my life, but I live my life, but I live my life just
Anyhow! one two three
Anyhow! four five six
Anyhow! eight nine ten
Anyhow! eleven twelve

You also claimed that I was bad at kissing;
A regular practice could have made it easy
And you criticised the very way I dressed
Have some pity, honey, as I did my best

You said I was childish and we had no prospect
But to have a baby just at any moment
Having no means to feed and dress it
That explains your choice of the door marked ‘Exit’

I don’t know, don’t really know how
But my broken heart is beating so loud now
I don’t know, don’t really know how
But I live my life, but I live my life, but I live my life just
Anyhow! one two three
Anyhow! four five six
Anyhow! eight nine ten
Anyhow! eleven twelve

You’re leaving now, so, good riddance, bird
I’ll lay your path with the last swear word
Go find the one you will spend time with
Who would be more serious and could better kiss

Never will my name slip your scattered mind
You’ll remember me every sleepless night
Only once comes love, only once comes youth
Those who betray it, always pay their dues

I don’t know, don’t really know how
But I live my life, but I live my life, but I live my life just
Anyhow! one two three
Anyhow! four five six
Anyhow! eight nine ten
Anyhow! eleven twelve
