Never heard a truer word ever spoken,
You can’t change course, on a bare-back horse, unbroken,
But as the rain poured down, on my well-lit town, I watched from the old weather station,
My sweet Mary-Anne, with a brand new man, on rotation,
Chorus: Big smiles are the easiest smiles to fake,
True words are the hardest words to take,
I don’t really know why,
But every time we say goodbye,
Kind Hearts are the first hearts to break.
Now the street-dogs howl, like ghosts up and down, the highway,
And on the hill all alone, strung out and stoned you’ll find me,
And the rain has wet, my last cigarette, I’m hopeless,
Feel just like Othello, up in the gallows but I’m ropeless,
Chorus: Big smiles are the easiest smiles to fake,
True words are the hardest words to take,
Like a cornfield in the hail,
Like an outlaw out on bail
Kind Hearts are the first hearts to break.
Chorus: Big smiles are the easiest smiles to fake,
True words are the hardest words to take,
With an aching way down beneath,
And a shotgun in my teeth,
Kind Hearts are the first hearts to break.
Come on angel, come on darling,
Why you wanna leave me wondering,
Come on mama, give me something,
Can’t you hear me out howling,
Ah honey it ain’t that I’m afraid,
It’s just suicide’s so clichéd,
Kind hearts are the first hearts to break
