Can A Heart Take

Coldest night, lonely lullaby no mockingbird gon' sing

Her goodbye cut like a knife, won't be no diamond ring

On a pretty left hand

I better understand

How much pain can a heart take?

How long till the hurt fades?

How much whiskey does a man drink

Till the "you ain't here" is gone?

How dark is a storm cloud?

How hard is the comedown?

How much rain till the dam breaks?

How much pain can a heart take?

On my head, hold it all back

Keep it in, cowboys don't cry

Saddle on up, goin' gets tough

Ride until the morning light

How much pain can a heart take?

How long till the hurt fades?

How much whiskey does a man drink

Till the "you ain't here" is gone?

How dark is a storm cloud?

How hard is the comedown?

How much rain till the dam breaks?

How much pain can a heart take?

Can it take what you've given me?

Can it take all these memories?

Can it take all I'm feeling now?

Well, I figure I'ma figure out

How much pain can a heart take?

How long till the hurt fades?

How much whiskey does a man drink

Till the "you ain't here" is gone?

How dark is a storm cloud?

How hard is the comedown?

How much rain till the dam breaks?

How much pain can a heart take?
