## Lyrics

**[Niall]**

Counted all my mistakes and there's only one

Standing out from the list of the things I've done

All the rest of my crimes don't come close

To the look on your face when I let you go

So I built you a house from a broken home

And I wrote you a song with the words you spoke

Yeah, it took me some time, but I figured out

How to fix up a heart that I let down

**[Zayn]**

Now I'm searching every lonely place

Every corner calling out your name

Tryna find you, but I just don't know

Where do broken hearts go?

Where do broken hearts go?

**[Liam]**

Yeah, the taste of your lips on the tip of my tongue

Is at the top of the list of the things I want

Mind is running in circles of you and me

Anyone in between is the enemy

**[Harry]**

Shadows come with the pain that you're running from

Love was something you've never heard enough

Yeah, it took me some time, but I figured out

How to fix up a heart that I let down

**[Zayn]**

Now I'm searching every lonely place

Every corner calling out your name

Tryna find you, but I just don't know

Where do broken hearts go?

**[All]**

Are you sleeping, baby, by yourself?

Or are you giving it to someone else?

Try to find you, but I just don't know

Where do broken hearts go?

Where do broken hearts go?

**[Harry]**

Tell me now, tell me now,

Tell me where you go when you feel afraid

(Where do broken hearts go?)

Tell me now, tell me now,

Tell me will you ever love me again, love me again?

**[Zayn]**

Now I'm searching every lonely place

Every corner calling out your name

Tryna find you, but I just don't know

Where do broken hearts go?

**[All]**

Are you sleeping, baby, by yourself,

Or are you giving it to someone else?

Try to find you, but I just don't know

**[Louis]**

Where do broken hearts go?

Tell me where you're hiding out

Where do broken hearts go?

**[Harry]**

Come on baby, cause I need you now

**[Louis]**

Where do broken hearts go?

Tell me cause I'm ten feet down

Where do broken hearts go?

**[Louis]**

Come on baby, come and get me out

**[Zayn]**

Come on baby, come and get me out

**[Harry]**

Come on baby, cause I need you now

**[All]**

Where do broken hearts go?

Where do broken hearts go?

Where do broken hearts go?

Where do broken hearts go?
