| 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 |
