A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Running for her life The dark rain from her eyes still falls Breathtaking butterfly Chose a dark day to live Save one breath for me Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay

Back to the front Soldier boy, made of clay Now an empty shell Twenty one, only son But he served us well Bred to kill, not to care Do just as we say Finished here, greetings death He's yours to take away

No one sees the things you do Because I stand in front of you But you drive me all the time You put the evil in my mind I used to sing and say my prayers Live my life without a care Now I have become a fool I tried to listen to the mule How can I change

Ooh, oh, whoa-oh Thinking of you, thinking of you I'm thinking of you Wanna be with you I wasn't looking for a romance Blue skies but I'm in the dark Waiting on someone that gotta pick me up Ooh, I'm coming right back Tried to forget about you and no

Take it back Sweet revenge I got kicked off Noah's Ark I turn my cheek to unkind remarks There was two of everything But one of me And when the rains came tumbling down I held my breath and I stood my ground

But surely not today Someday I won't be afraid of my head Someday I will not be chained to my bed Someday I’ll forget the day he left One day I won't need a PhD To sit me down and tell me what it all means Maybe one day it'll be a breeze, ah But surely

Tell me that it's all okay (tell me that it's all okay) I've been waitin' on this all damn day (waitin' on this all damn day) Call me in the mornin', tell me how last night went I'll put you out of your misery I'm here, but don't count on me to stay That

I wish I was, I wish I was beside you She sleeps alone My heart wants to come home She lies awake I'm trying to find the words to say I wish I was, I wish I was I don't wanna go So close but so far away Within a minute I was all packed up

So sick of love You’ve been giving none of you I’ve been giving all of me It’s feeling like eternity Somebody tell me what to do oh I’m so sick I've been giving all of me Over and over and over I tried But dealing with you is like a full time occupation

Heartaches just don't last forever But it's a lonely road A road we all must travel Once before we go Wonder who is waiting for me At the end of Heartbreak Road Hope that she'll be tender Someone I can know I believe that love's a good teacher
