When a cowboy's heart breaks
He'll keep himself as closed in
As his horses
When a cowboy's heart breaks
He'll try to drink his thoughts away
To cope with the pain
He'll break down your defenses
He'll put up all his fences
And he'll build the barbed wire
High around his heart
But I, I can see it in his eyes
I can read between the lines across his face
He'll try and prove that he's a tough guy and he'll lose
What he loves tryna show off some false strength
Yeah, it's complicated when a cowboy's heart breaks
♪
When a cowboy's heart breaks
He'll spit out words that are sharper than
His old boot spurs
Ooh, when a cowboy's heart breaks
He's gonna try to shake it off
With Heather down the block
He'll put down my defenses
He broke down all my fences
Long enough to brand his name
Right on my heart
But I, I can see it in his eyes
I can read between the lines across his face
He'll try and prove that he's a tough guy and he'll lose
What he loves tryna show off some false strength
Yeah, it's complicated when a cowboy's heart breaks
He broke down all my fences
The only thing that's left is
The ashes from the fire that he sparked
But I can see it in his eyes
I can read between the lines across his face
Yeah, he'll try and prove that he's a tough guy and he'll lose
What he loves tryna show off some false strength
Yeah, it's complicated when a cowboy's heart breaks
Ooh, when a cowboy's heart breaks
