Lyrics

Over years of ill-relation, many men fall along the way.
There are few who stand to reason,
But they never find that much to say.
No one chooses to be lonely –
But, it finds us just the same.

People wanting, always trying, never satisfied with more.
Always searching, always looking…
You forget what you’re looking for.
People take a look around you,
And find yourselves again.

Heart, where have you been?
I’ve wandered away from you.
Heart, where have you gone?
Come back and pull me through.
It’s important that you find me soon,
And catch me before my soul fades away.

When you give in to the coldness, the heart is harder to find.
Then you never can remember
What it is you left behind.
And you know that loneliness survives,
After all else fails.

Be loved, love somebody, let them know that you live.
Let them know that life is nothing
Unless you have that love to give.
You can’t find the secret to happiness –
It’s already found.

Heart, where have you been?
I’ve wandered away from you.
Heart, where have you gone?
Come back and pull me through.
It’s important that you find me soon,
And catch me before my soul fades away.
