Lyrics

Heart is a Beggar

The space between us when we sleep at night
Growing wider every time we fight
I thought you were the one; now we're coming all undone
I feel something you don't
Love is never even
You turn away, and I'm here needing

CHORUS
The heart is a beggar hungry for love
Always wantin' more, there's never enough to satisfy
The heart is a beggar down on its knees
I'm gonna stand tall, I'm not gonna plead
Even this begging heart knows when to leave

I've got my pride, so keep your charity
I'll make it through so don't pity me
Baby, you've got your doubts; don't need your handouts
I want something you don't
Love is never even
You turn away and I'm here needing

CHORUS

Don't tell me that you wanna stay
Your heart is somewhere far away
There is no future
There is no future for us baby
You gotta know right now
