Heaven knows I've tried, but nothing will give way at all I always see your face at the start of every day You always set the rhythm that makes my body ache Like mortar from a wall it's just your back you break
Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more How much will it take to stay together Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart Right from the start
You always broke the border, it was always there to break I gave you all my loving, as much as you could take But still there's something missing, it's gone missing deep inside My words don't compensate at all, for the all the nights we died
Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more How much will it take to stay together Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart Right from the start
A love you can't have, a love you can't face A love you broke once, a love you broke twice What seemed like love, felt like pain Everywhere you moved, it's gonna to be the same Blame it on people, blame it on the cards Whichever you do, It's going to the stars
Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more How much will it take to stay together Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart Right from the start
Thinking 'bout you and me In a real life tragedy, yeah yeah You mess with insanity No reason for vanity, no no You falling from a tree as life Its not so hard when you hit the floor You just bounce back up again they say So brush yourself off and say 'ok' And start yourself and say 'which way' And brush yourself off and say 'yeah yeah'
I'm never gonna fall that way again My feet never touched the ground I'm never gonna sit & count to ten I'll always remember Some people would've called this heaven sent If only they'd known better
I took all those memories But I'll never hold you again, no no It might be my imagination playin' those tricks again So brush yourself off and say ok Then start yourself off and say which way Brush yourself off and say yeah yeah
I'm never gonna fall that way again My feet never touched the ground I'm never gonna sit & count to ten I'll always remember Some people would've called this heaven sent If only they'd known better
So brush yourself off and say ok Then start yourself off and say which way Brush yourself off and say yeah yeah
I'm never gonna fall that way again My legs buckle under I'm never gonna sit & count to ten I'll always remember Some people would've called this common sense If only I'd known better If only I'd known better
I was foolin' around, Somewhere in a foreign town. Are you ready to let your tears roll down?
When you're foolin' around, Your conscious will let you down. It's easy to be sorry, but not so easy to forget.
Braver men than me, Have told this story, yeah, yeah. Braver men than me, Still count the cost, yeah, yeah.
Chorus: Because the Sight of your tears, Rules of emotion, The sight of your fears, The sight of your tears (the sight or your tears), Brings me down
Now I feel like a fool But I could see faith in you. You gave me so much pleasure And turned and walked away.
Then it came to me In quick succession, yes it did. All my runnin' around Taught me this lesson, yeah, yeah
Chorus: Because the Sight of your tears (sight of your tears) Rules of emotion (rules of emotion) Sight of you fears (sight of your fears) Sight of your tears (sight of your tears) Brings me down (brings me down, uh, huh)
Bridge: Is there nothin' I can say (nothing I can say) Is there nothin' I can do (I can do) It doesn't matter anyway I lost you now But I'll always love you.
Chorus: Because the Sight of your tears (no more lovin and attention) (Sight of your tears) Rules of emotion (no more lovin and affection) (Rules of emotion) Sight of your fears (no more lovin and attention) (Sight of your fears) The sight of your tears (no more lovin and affection) (Sight of your tears) Brings me down
Brick by brick And wall by wall Just like before I'll watch you fall Then once again You'll come to me Still asking for My sympathy I'm not listening To you anymore No, no, no I'm not listening To you anymore
I would have given my heart I would have given my everything I would have given my soul If you had only waited
Step by step And toe to toe You've danced around Now you must go I'm still thinking You gave it all away Yeah, yeah, yeah Back to back And front to side Whatever you read You took as lies I'm still writing To you every day I'm still writing Day after day
I would have given my heart I would have given my everything I would have given my soul If you had only waited I would have given my heart I would have given you everything I would have given it all If you had only waited Just a little while longer
I would have given my heart I would have given my soul If you had only waited Just a little while longer
