Words and music by Christopher Cross



I can hear your voice and I have no choice

'Cause the pain is too deep inside

And the hurt of a love that is lost has no cure

But the love of another heart

Your friends try and say it will all get better

They say that they know how you feel

But your heart isn't sure 'cause it knows what it heard

All the things that it read in the letter



All the words of wisdom

Never seem to ease the pain

All the words of wisdom sound the same



All the lies of kindness

Oh that sweet refrain

But you pay the price for the joy that it brings

'Cause you hear the sound of her name

And the morning tries to save you

>From the shadows of your heart

They dance and kiss as you reminisce

And it's tearing you apart
