Don`t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
I`m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I`ve been running on empty since you went away.
The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that we`re apart
So please don`t speak of my heart.
Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile I`m drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet there`s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday I`m gonna love again.
The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please don`t speak of my heart.
Every day`s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
No one believed we were saying �Goodbye`
And every night I think of you I`m still left wondering why
I can`t believe that we`re saying goodbye.
And when I wake up in the morning
And wonder where I`m going to
It all came without a warning
What`s a man supposed to do?
Don`t let your heart break down
Don`t let your heart break down.
Don`t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
I`m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I`ve been running on empty since you went away.
The spirit world looks down on us,
Sad that we`re apart
Don`t wanna talk about it -- don`t make me think about it
So please don`t speak of my heart.
