Broken Hearted Lyrics

You ask me why I'm broken hearted Why, I've shed a million tears sweetheart, for you It's not easy when the love you've cherished Proves falsehearted, careless and untrue. You built a chain around my heart, dear But each link was only sorrow and regret For you taught my aching heart to love you But you never taught it to forget. I've tried in vain to find a new love That would take your place and teach me to forget But I find you'll always have my heart, dear I must live in memories of regret. Tho' darling, there's one consolation In my dreams I know I'll find you waiting there But I'll wake to find each new tomorrow Saddened by a broken love affair...
