lyrics

THE LOVE I COULDN’T GIVE

Heartbreak hotel where I thought I would never be
Now has an empty bed waiting just for me
Because today, you chose to walk away.
And say to me, you’re breaking free
From this prison I have built for you

CHORUS
Every lie needs a place to hide
A room I don’t want to look inside
I locked you in a world where all my lies could live
With the love I couldn’t give

I pictured fancy cars, houses and a diamond ring
When I said I could give you everything
You only asked for me to unlock my heart
Where was the key, I couldn’t see
Even what I should be looking for

CHORUS

So unexpected, how you rejected
My old apologies as just a bluff
Wall tied to rafter, to last for ever after
Came tumblin’ down when you said “Sorry’s not enough”.

If luck is preparation meeting opportunity
Should love reappear eventually
I won’t be the fool who disobeys the golden rule
And tells a lie, so carelessly
It feels no different than honesty
