the great divide

 

 

 

 




VERSE ONE:

There ain't nothing in this world that I wouldn't do,
To prove to you how much I really love you,
There ain't nothing I can say to make you stay,
To prove to you that I really care.

It's like a ticking clock, that just won't stop,
My heart keeps telling me to let you go,
There's a ringing in my ears, a tolling of the years,
My mind believes but you don't want to know.

CHORUS:

You never asked me how I felt inside,
We're miles apart, we're like the Great Divide,
You never wondered how my heart would cope,
The day you simply walked away from me.

VERSE TWO:

So tell me from your heart, how you felt right from the start,
Was this just a game two lovers play ?
Like a rubber band or a man prepared to hang,
I'm torn apart but not prepared to break.

CHORUS:

You never asked me how I felt inside,
We're miles apart, we're like the Great Divide,
You never wondered how my heart would cope.

OUTRO:

Cos you, you turned and simply walked away,
Like a man condemned to die or the truth behind a lie,
It really doesn't matter anymore.

Cos you, you simply turned and walked away,
You never said goodbye, like a man condemned to die,
Does it really matter in the end ?

You never asked me how I felt inside,
We're miles apart, we're like the Great Divide,
You never wondered how my heart would cope,
The day you simply walked away from me,
The day you simply walked away from me.
The day you simply walked away from me.
