My heart could tell the story, it would tell how much I'm lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside that's hoping for love, needing love
Oh, to look at me, you would see a soft place for the man
But deep inside I try to hide a hurt that I can't stand
Oh, no one understands this proud but lonely man
Not wanting sympathy, but only wanting to be happy
Oh, if my heart could tell the story, then it would tell how much I'm lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside that's hoping for love, needing love
Oh, how much longer can I hold this heart full of despair
You know I search for satisfaction, but I can't find it nowhere
Now on my face I wear a smile, but it's only there just for a while
Cause when the pretending ends, that's when heartache rushes in
Oh, if my heart could tell the story, then it would tell just how much I'm lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside that's hoping for love, needing love
Oh, if my heart could tell the story, then it would tell just how much I'm lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside that's hoping for love, needing love
