(Difford/Tilbrook)
|
|
There she sits in an empty room
|
The look on her face says it all
|
A bruise appears round a crying eye
|
As the tear drops sadly fall
|
He knocked her over he hit her
|
And told her she's stupid
|
He¡¯s high as a kite once again
|
She knows that tough love is needed
|
To save the love of her friend
|
|
There he sits in a freezing car
|
She's in her bed in the warm
|
The cold light of the morning sky
|
Finds him cramped and looking worn
|
He wanders inside on tiptoes
|
And brews up some coffee
|
He¡¯s shaking and sweating again
|
She knows that tough love is needed
|
To save the love of her friend
|
|
They talk it over but it's not easy
|
Sorting it out
|
She cannot take it when he tells lies
|
And sneaks off out of the room
|
Returning like somebody's lost balloon
|
|
Tea leaves sit in an empty cup
|
No expression on his face
|
The TV's showing commercials
|
He's back in her arms again
|
No more the drugs and the drinking
|
Her heart can stop sinking
|
Now that he's home once again
|
She knows that tough love is needed
|
To save the love of her friend
|
|
They talked it over for hours and hours and hours
|
¡®Till everything sounded the same
|
She knows it's tough love that she finds in her heart
|
To dissolve the pain
|
