Lyrics

Just as I was gonna open my heart
She said I've made up my mind we're through
Do the best you can
Don't expect miracles
The man within me
He can't speak alone
He's trying to tell the man outside
To say he loves her
But his head wont turn

Chr
It's another story
But the same old show
A mother's heart grows colder
The City takes it's toll
I'm going home

Frequently when I fail to see
My heart is an open book
If only my head could feel
I mightn't leap before I look
Her past surrounds me
I can't tell her cause of what I know
I was there I know what I did
I had to face it and let it go

Chr

I'm going home - cause nobody cares in this place
