Lyrics

It's hard to learn
How tears can burn one's heart
But that's a thing that I found out
Too late I guess, 'cause I'm in a mess
My faith has gone
Why lead me on this way?
I thought there'd be no price on love
But I had to pay
If I could perform a miracle
I'd revive your thoughts of me
Yet I know that it's hopeless
You could never really care
That's why I despair
I'll go along
Hoping someday you'll learn
The flame in my heart, dear
Forever will burn
If I could perform a miracle
I'd revive your thoughts of me
Yet I know that it's hopeless
You could never really care
That's why I despair
I'll go along
Hoping someday you'll learn
The flame in my heart, dear
Forever will burn
