A Thorn For Every Heart

June 11th, 1980

It's been such a long time since I've seen your face
And lately I ignore the sound of your voice
It's leaving me empty
Try to forget me

These days, our chances are looking slim
I tell you you look nice, you say I'm looking thin
I say I haven't been eating or really been sleeping
It's leaving me thinking of you

I'm coming clean tonight
I'm gonna tell you everything I've been keeping inside
But I'm only wasting time
I don't wanna let you go

I see you in his arms
You're faking a smile
And watch as you finish the drink in your hand
Pretend to be happy
Do you look happy?
No, we remember again

Right now you know I could use a drink
Or even better, getting maybe two or three
Cause it helps me get over the pain
And it helps me forget and move on once again

I'm coming clean tonight
I'm gonna tell you everything I've been keeping inside
But I'm only wasting time
I don't wanna let you go

Now I'm sleeping
I can't breathe
This is now a dream
Under the moonlight and in your arms
I'll wait forever till everything's just fine
Under the streetlight and in your eyes
I'll wait forever till everything's just fine

I'm coming clean tonight
I'm gonna tell you everything I've been keeping inside
But I'm only wasting time
I don't wanna let you go
But I ought to let you know
