For taking the trouble, for hanging on and tryin' |
|
You've been working through the rubble of a shattered mind |
|
Yeah Baby, tell me why the tears are falling from your eye |
|
Tears of laughter, tears of grief, are they the tears of a captured thief? |
|
You thought that you were home free, you thought you had her well in hand |
|
But there were things about her you didn't understand |
|
Yeah Baby, tell me how you're gonna keep that promise now? |
|
To live your life without regret and make it work with what you get |
|
You didn't then, but now you know |
|
When she began to lie, you really should have let her go |
|
You're learnin' how to talk about it, you're learnin' how to bend |
|
It's like you're learning how to walk all over again |
|
Yeah Baby, tell me who you're gonna give your lovin' to? |
|
That girl who catches every eye or the one you can set your compass by |
|
You set it by her soulful smile, the fire in her eye |
|
And the way she goes that extra mile |
|
The love you wanted this to be is somewhere down the line |
|
You'll find her eventually |
|
Your grandma and her grandma are sittin' 'round heaven discussin' the law |
|
Lovin' that girl was not your crime, livin' without her gonna take some time |
|
Lovin' that girl next thing you knew, you'd turned away from the thing you do |
|
Lovin' that girl, you couldn't see, living without her gonna make you free |
