So, the Structure would be as follows:

"How Broken Hearts Can Be"

(C)2001 and 2009
Music by Mike Zaneski
Lyrics by Mike Zaneski and Kristi McKeever

Verse I

They're such delicate organs.
You didn't handle mine with care.
Love and romance lifted it,
and held it in the air.
When love let go I fumbled it.
I wore it on my sleeve.
(Chorus-Refrain)
Now I know How Broken Hearts Can Be.

Verse II

First hearts hide their feelings,
one too many times.
They blow up little details big.
They fail to read the signs.
Finally they shatter, leaving
only love's debris.
Now I know How Broken Hearts Can Be.

Vocal Bridge

As broken as the light,
passing through this willow tree;
As broken as the night,
you said, "I need to be free!"
I held mine in my hands as you,
walked away from me.
Then I watched it crumble.
like dried up Autumn leaves.

Verse III

A thousand little pieces
are way beyond repair.
It's almost as if each
has its own piece of despair.
A thousand little pieces, and I
ain't got no warranty.
Now I know How Broken Hearts Can Be

(Coda)
Now I know How Broken Hearts Can Be

END
Or, repeat Bridge, Coda, and END.

Vocal Bridge

As broken as the light,
passing through this willow tree;
As broken as the night,
you said, "I need to be free!"
I held mine in my hands as you,
walked away from me.
Then I watched it crumble.
like dried up Autumn leaves.

Coda
Now I know How Broken Hearts Can Be
Now I know How Broken Hearts Can Be
