Mainstreet - The Story of a Broken Heart Lyrics

The southbound train is coming out of the blue
I am standing in the station, and I've been waitin' for you
Hasn't anybody told you the war is over?
Hasn't anybody given you a four-leaf clover?
I guess I should've known from the start
It's the story of a broken heart
I guess I should've known from the start
It's the story of a broken heart
I guess your dream was a shot in the dark
The fire burned out, you couldn't find the spark
I guess they never told you the key to survival
I guess you had nightmares on the day of arrival
Neighborhood heroes they don't count anymore
It's a story we've heard before
Neighborhood heroes they don't count anymore
It's a story we've heard before
Did they tell you 'bout the children
Who are playin' in the summer rain
Did they teach you 'bout the losers
Who take pleasure in pain
It's a hard lesson to learn
And it's a rough way to get burned
Don't let the captain catch you cryin'
I wish I could be there when the sun goes down
I wish I could be there when there's no one around
I wish I could cross the river that runs between us
The train left station 'bout a quarter past three
No one was comin', no one's lookin' for me
Five long years have come to an end
It's hard to believe, and it's hell to pretend
It's the story of fallin' apart
It's the story of a broken heart
It's the story of fallin' apart
It's the story of a broken heart
It's a hard lesson to learn
And it's a rough way to get burned
Don't let the past catch you cryin'
Oh Lord, I'm cryin'
Oh Lord, I'm cryin'
