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