I sang the first two lines of this song to a nice melody I had and the song wrote itself from there. My daughter is 18 and I related it to her at least the first two verses. The rest of the song in true songwriting tradition is all made up lets hope the real story has a happier ending.

All the Kings Horses and All the Kings Men Words/Music Tony DeLecce 9/25/2006 She was only 17, when she left her home and her family She was raised in a happy home Some how she felt she was all alone Nobody there could understand the way she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put her broken heart together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men learned that some hearts never mend They had such high hopes for her They gave her their love, they helped her to learn Swimming in the morning, ballet at noon Soccer, softball and Piano too They could never understand the way she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put their broken hearts together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men learned that some hearts never mend BRIDGE They were so sorry They wished that shed come home They were so sorry If only they had known MIDDLE INSTRUMENTAL LEAD That was 10 long years ago When she left her happy home She thinks about that night long ago But its too late she can never go home Married a man who couldnt understand the way she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put her broken heart together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men learned that some hearts never mend LAST VERSE Her parents split up 5 years ago The pain was too great and so was the blame They could never forgive or forget so they walked away they left their marriage for dead They could never learn to live with the pain they knew she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put their broken hearts together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men knew that some hearts never mend BRIDGE She was so sorry, she wished that shed stayed home She was so sorry, she never was alone.
