"Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" is a song by American rock musician Chris Cornell. It was released as the lead single from his fourth studio album Higher Truth (2015). The song hit the top 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and is also his first entry on that chart since 2007's "No Such Thing", as well as his first entry on the Alternative Songs chart since 1999's "Can't Change Me" and his first song to enter the Adult Alternative Songs chart.

Music video The music video was released on September 11 2015. Cornell and Eric Roberts play prisoners about to be hanged; as a sexy onlooker (Elena Satine) distracts the hangman, Cornell's noose is sabotaged by the executioner's assistant so he survives his hanging, and is forced into marriage with the woman who sabotaged his hanging. The video ends with the other prisoner about to be hanged and the onlooker about to play her part again.

Lyrics

Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain

When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple, red and ripe
Wasn't very long, you took a bite
And did me wrong and it serves me right

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go 'round again
Again

Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Trying to take a picture of the sun
And it won't help you to see the light

Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss
That I won't miss, not for anything

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go 'round again

Every single feeling
Tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces
And you know I need this like a hole

Every single feeling
Tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces
And you know I need this like a hole

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go 'round again

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go 'round again
Here we go 'round again
Here we go 'round again
Here we go 'round again
