It wasn't nothing but a heartache

In the middle of a bad dream

Like I took on the whole world

And I never had a chance, girl Was a one-way conversation

I never got the invitation

The sharpness of her words deceiving

And I couldn't stop the bleeding And Lord, I tried to be forgiving

But getting by don't mean you're living

And on that highway going nowhere

Was an exit overdue And all she had to give was heartache

So she broke my heart in two

Yes, she did You found me drifting in a small boat

In the middle of an ocean

You were there on my horizon

And I didn't have a notion Unprepared to comprehend it

Felt alone and unattended

Said my prayers and reached my hand out

And you appeared to me that day Came and led me to a new shore

I had never been there before

Put me in the right direction

And you led me out of Hell And if it wasn't for your good heart

I'd have never broke her spell

'Cause you promised me tomorrow

But I learned that lesson well

Yes, I did. Oh yes, I did You're the sum of all my heartbeats

You're the only truth my heart needs

Showed me how to make the journey

I can't let you walk away, no, not today 'Cause I've already slept with heartache

Time to chase the night away

Just the two of us together

And does forever sound okay? Say, "Yes, it does"

Say, "Yes, it does"

Oh, yes it does
