lyrics

I broke your heart, I made you cry
I’ve left you alone too many nights
I said that I love you deep down inside
But it takes more than words for love to survive

I’ve begged forgiveness more often than not
Found comfort in the charms of some other girl
I hear you laughing at those silly poems I write
But it takes more than words for love to survive

For love to survive you’ve got to sacrifice
For love to survive you’ve got to live in each others eyes
Every night we lie together
But I’m a million miles away
We can’t meet in the middle
‘Cause I threw that all away
I know I promised forever
But tonight I just can’t stay

We can go on pretending that everything’s fine
Turn a blind eye to what’s really going on
We can put down on paper all the secrets we hide
But it takes more than words for love to survive
