After so many years tryin' to set it free
The pain seems to fade but it never leaves
The memories haunt me and I wish they'd let me be
I gambled on love and it tore me apart
Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Be still my heartI wasn't born wise but I learned this much
Though you took all I gave, it was never enough
There was a time I'd have died for your soul
Your strength, your touch
But I'll leave it behind, try to make a new start
Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Let the pain fade awayIt was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream
You lit fire to my soul and you said you'd never leave
It's tearin' me up, baby, where have you been?
Oh, please, oh please, oh please
Please just understand me
And what this nonsense means, oh, yeahI gave up my dreams to let you inside
Boy, you sure took my momma's little boy for a ride
I'll never know how I could'a been so blindWell, I gambled on love and it tore me apart
Oh, be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Be still my heart, my broken heartLet the pain fade away
Just a small town floozy a 'name' a Backwater Lucy,
Drivin' me down and down, and down and down
(Be still my heart)
Oh, yeah
That's what I get for bein' lazy, woman's drivin' me crazyDrivin' me down and down, and down and down and down
(Be still my heart)
