Mending the Fence by The Lil Smokies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's time we mended
This old and broken fence
Maybe it'll keep you
From coming back again
With calloused and cold hands
We worked, and run out of sun
Again in the morning
I squint as I wake amidst the dawn
[Chorus]
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart's the worst
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart
The broken heart's the worst
[Verse 2]
I'm told there's a reason
Why some things last and some things don't
I try to see but I'm freezing
I didn't think this feeling would last this long
You're just a memory
Of a far and distant time
I'm blinded by headlights
A trail lit by that yellow highway line
[Chorus]
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart's the worst
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart
The broken heart's the worst
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Arms stretched farther
The green light glows and we believe
Bury all the failures
Bury and all we can achieve
And I'll fix this without you
Upend dead ground below
And put up a new fence
And throw away all I once was told
[Chorus]
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart's the worst
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart
The broken heart's the worst
It's time we mended
This old and broken fence
Maybe it'll keep you
From coming back again
With calloused and cold hands
We worked, and run out of sun
Again in the morning
I squint as I wake amidst the dawn
[Chorus]
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart's the worst
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart
The broken heart's the worst
[Verse 2]
I'm told there's a reason
Why some things last and some things don't
I try to see but I'm freezing
I didn't think this feeling would last this long
You're just a memory
Of a far and distant time
I'm blinded by headlights
A trail lit by that yellow highway line
[Chorus]
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart's the worst
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart
The broken heart's the worst
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Arms stretched farther
The green light glows and we believe
Bury all the failures
Bury and all we can achieve
And I'll fix this without you
Upend dead ground below
And put up a new fence
And throw away all I once was told
[Chorus]
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart's the worst
I guess this is why they said
The broken heart
The broken heart's the worst
