| It wasn’t nothing but a heartache
|
| In the middle of a bad dream
|
| Like I took on the whole world
|
| And I never had a chance, girl
|
| Was a one-way conversation
|
| I never got the invitation
|
| The sharpness of her words deceiving
|
| And I couldn’t stop the bleeding
|
| And Lord, I tried to be forgiving
|
| But getting by don’t mean you’re living
|
| And on that highway going nowhere
|
| Was an exit overdue
|
| And all she had to give was heartache
|
| So she broke my heart in two
|
| Yes, she did
|
| You found me drifting in a small boat
|
| In the middle of an ocean
|
| You were there on my horizon
|
| And I didn’t have a notion
|
| Unprepared to comprehend it
|
| Felt alone and unattended
|
| Said my prayers and reached my hand out
|
| And you appeared to me that day
|
| Came and led me to a new shore
|
| I had never been there before
|
| Put me in the right direction
|
| And you led me out of Hell
|
| And if it wasn’t for your good heart
|
| I’d have never broke her spell
|
| 'Cause you promised me tomorrow
|
| But I learned that lesson well
|
| Yes, I did. |
| Oh yes, I did
|
| You’re the sum of all my heartbeats
|
| You’re the only truth my heart needs
|
| Showed me how to make the journey
|
| I can’t let you walk away, no, not today
|
| 'Cause I’ve already slept with heartache
|
| Time to chase the night away
|
| Just the two of us together
|
| And does forever sound okay?
|
| Say, «Yes, it does»
|
| Say, «Yes, it does»
|
| Oh, yes it does |
