For taking the trouble, for hanging on and tryin'
|
Now 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, 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
|
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
|
