HOPE

Turn your face away from me you know I don’t think I can stand to see you crying
Well you made my heart a stranger on these roads
You got me more than you will ever know

Well I swear I never felt this fire burn so low inside me I am dying here
All I ever asked from you was just one thing
But somewhere in the bargain I lost everything
But still this river of love runs deep and wide

Oh this time you really hurt me
I never meant to break your heart
Oh this time you really hurt me
I never meant to break your heart
So wide
Cos this time it really hurts
I never thought I'd play the part of the man who broke your heart

Well I knew this storm was coming yeah I could feel it on your lips when you kissed me
Oh you always read me like an open book
If only leaving you was all it took to get you off my mind
But still the river of love runs so wide

So wide
Oh this time you really hurt me
I never meant to break your heart
No but this time you really hurt me
I never meant to break your heart
So wide
But this time it really hurts
I never thought I'd play the part of the man who broke your heart
You should have kept it in close to you but now it’s gone

So wide
I never meant to break your heart
Oh no but this time you really hurt me
I never meant to break your heart

So wide
I’m begging you to take me back again
You know you really broke my heart
I’m begging you to take me back again
You know you really broke my hear
I’m begging you to try and take me back again
Oh no you really broke my heart ...
