So it begins Learning the language of poets and thieves She's crying again He's making promise no one could keep They sound so sweet But they are Made to be broken Made to be broken Even as they are spoken They are made to be broken She's nobody's fool Collecting the hearts of the lovers she's known But she locks up her own 'Cause hearts were Made to be broken Made to be broken Love's only token It was made to be broken No one defends The spirits of wild horses and children Made to be broken Who makes the rules That tell us by nature we're destined to fail We wrote them ourselves And they were Made to be broken Made to be broken Rules were made to be broken Made to be broken
