nothing but a heartache
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
