Don't Speak of My Heart
Donâ"š¬â"ž¢t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been running on empty since you went away.
The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that weâ"š¬â"ž¢re apart
So please donâ"š¬â"ž¢t speak of my heart.
Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m gonna love again.
The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please donâ"š¬â"ž¢t speak of my heart.
Every dayâ"š¬â"ž¢s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
No one believed we were saying â"š¬í‹Å“Goodbyeâ"š¬â"ž¢
And every night I think of you Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m still left wondering why
I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t believe that weâ"š¬â"ž¢re saying goodbye.
And when I wake up in the morning
And wonder where Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m going to
It all came without a warning
Whatâ"š¬â"ž¢s a man supposed to do?
Donâ"š¬â"ž¢t let your heart break down
Donâ"š¬â"ž¢t let your heart break down.
Donâ"š¬â"ž¢t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been running on empty since you went away.
The spirit world looks down on us,
Sad that weâ"š¬â"ž¢re apart
Donâ"š¬â"ž¢t wanna talk about it -- donâ"š¬â"ž¢t make me think about it
So please donâ"š¬â"ž¢t speak of my heart.
