THERE WASN'T NOTHIN'
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 GETTIN' BY
DON'T MEAN YOU'RE LIVING
AND ON THAT HIGHWAY
GOIN' 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
PULLED 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
DOES FOREVER SOUND OKAY
SAY, YES, IT DOES
SAY, YES, IT DOES
OH, YES, IT DOES
