The Heart Survives

When she turned away

You know it was just in time

'Cause I'd used up all my strength

And you can't let a woman see you cryin'

And you know it's real

She's not gonna change her mind

You chose not to change your ways

Though she begged you a thousand times

And you don't understand

And you want to be a man about it

In time you'll learn to live without it

And you know that you'll survive but still sometimes you doubt it

If you can stand a little rain

You're gonna grow again

'Cause you know that when love dies

The heart survives

You stare at the empty walls

Inside of this vacant home

You walk through these hollow halls

And at night you sleep alone

And you don't understand

Ooh, and you want to be a man about it

In time you'll learn to live without it

And you know that you'll survive but still sometimes you doubt it

If you can stand a little rain

You're gonna grow again

'Cause you know that when love dies

The heart survives, yes it does

You've been over it so many times in your head

Looking for a hidden message of hope in something she said

Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end

Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend?

If you can stand a little rain

Ooh, you're gonna grow again, oh yeah

'Cause you know that when love dies

Ooh, the heart survives, yes it does

If you can stand a little rain

Ooh, you're gonna grow again, yeah you're gonna grow again

'Cause you know that when love dies

Ooh, the heart survives

If you can stand a little rain

You're gonna grow again, oh yes you will

'Cause you know that when love dies
