Like a river flowing by That's how the tears fell from my eyes You hurt me so bad, in so many ways I worked for your love like a penniless slave My days are lonely, my nights are cold Just like a kingdom on empty throne You looked at me while I walk away We both knew there is nothing left to say But old habits die hard And temptation is begging me to let you stay I could take you in my arms And never let you go I can fall in love again But you'd only hurt me more My heart is broken, I'm lost in the dark All that surrounds me is silence, cold and hard But with time to heal, I'll mend these shards From this day forth, you'll hurt me no more I can finally spread my wings and let my lonely Heart soar So I thank you and the father above For he kept me through it all And you helped me learn that there's much more to life than love.
