Lyrics
How are you gonna have a good cry?
Punch a hole in the wall?
Are you gonna drink the Whiskey down
‘Til you can’t stand up at all?
Are you gonna blame the woman
Or admit you played a part?
Whatcha you gonna do
With that broken heart?
Are you gonna find a stranger
And have a one night stand?
Are you gonna look inside yourself
And be as honest as you can?
These choices that you’re making
They tell you who you are
Whatcha you gonna do
With that broken heart?
Are you gonna dwell on the past?
Are you gonna get past the pain?
Are you gonna hold on or let go
Or let it drive you insane?
Will you pick up pieces
Or just leave them where they are?
Whatcha you gonna do
With that broken heart?
Are you gonna find forgiveness
Somewhere down the line?
And understand the reasons
That she left you behind
Will you let somebody love you
In spite of these scars?
Whatcha you gonna do
With that broken heart?
Are you gonna dwell on the past?
Are you gonna get past the pain?
Are you gonna hold on or let go
Or let it drive you insane?
Will you pick up pieces
Or just leave them where they are?
Whatcha you gonna do
With that broken heart?
Will you pick up pieces
Or just leave them where they are?
Whatcha you gonna do
With that broken heart?
Tell me whatcha you gonna do
With that broken heart?
