I’m the King of Broken Hearts

My castle’s a room where each night I’m alone

A chair in the corner is my only throne

And all that I rule is a now-silent phone

I’m the King of Broken Hearts

My minstrel sings love songs on my phonograph

Each song brings back mem’ries of your haunting laugh

And each face in my court looks like your photograph

I’m the King of Broken Hearts

I thought I could forget in time

The tender kiss you gave

But now I realize that I’m

A ruler who’s only a slave

A scarf that you left now is my royal cloak

On my coat of arms are the love words you spoke

And my crown is a dream that has vanished in smoke

I’m the King of Broken Hearts

And my crown is a dream that has vanished in smoke

I’m the King of Broken Hearts
