WHEN A HEART BREAKS by Ben Rector

When there are no words.

When nothing can make sense of what you're living or experiencing.

When silence is too loud and noise is too quiet.

When you've reached your limit of suffering and loneliness and solitude.

When living The Sentient Life feels too hard--

That's when the perfect song starts playing, on your phone or your iPod, on tv, on your playlist, on the radio, in your favorite movie, or on someone's ringtone near you in the store.

And that song, somehow, makes everything ok.

Maybe even great.

Even if just for 3 minutes and 14 seconds.

This is one of those songs. Along with all the hundreds of other ones I've posted over the years...

 

 

 

 

WHEN A HEART BREAKS

 

 

I woke up this morning

And I heard the news

I know the pain of a heartbreak

I don't have answers

And neither do you

I know the pain of a heartbreak

 

This isn't easy

This isn't clear

And you don't need Jesus

Til you're here

Then confusion and the doubts you had

Up and walk away

They walk away

When a heart breaks

 

I heard the doctor

But what did he say

I knew I was fine about this time yesterday

I don't need answers

I just need some peace

I just need someone who could help me get some sleep

Who could help me get some sleep

 

This isn't easy

This isn't clear

And you don't need Jesus

Til you're here

Then confusion and the doubts you had

Up and walk away

They walk away

When a heart breaks

When a heart breaks

When a heart breaks

Oh, when a heart breaks

 

This isn't easy

This isn't clear

And you don't need Jesus

Til you're here

Then confusion and the doubts you had

Up and walk away

They walk away

When a heart breaks
