I took your love I took your pain I got left holding all the blame Now it's time for my long walk in the rain Through the heartache and back again The bough was bent beneath the weight It cracked in half in the hands of fate When it learned the sorry's were all too late It retreated back into that place to break As I took my heart and gave it away I asked you to keep it warm and safe You promised me with a smile that it would be okay As it shattered beneath the flame Now I'm picking up scattered shards My life not measured in time, but yards The distance for us is too hard Love for me isn't in the cards Because we threw the jokers from the deck I didn't know they'd be all that's left So as the final wave does crest I pray that it drags me out to sea
