Roaming Hearts

Our eyes meet at the bus station.

The sadness splashed all over your face.

I cannot help but wonder about you,

And what caused this sadness that you have to face.

What is happening in that little heart of yours that has saddened you so?

What has gone wrong in your life that has destroyed your beautiful smile?

(Chorus)

What did he say,

To make you feel this way?

What did he say,

To make you run away?

Was he unfaithful and you found out,

Or was it coming a long time, so you had to walk out?

The small bag slung over your shoulder,

Probably filled with odds and ends.

Your pounding little heart in your chest,

Probably filled with sadness to the bitter end.

I walk towards you, wanting to lay a hand on your arm,

To protect you from any further harm.

(Chorus)

What did he say,

To make you feel this way?

What did he say,

To make you run away?

Was he unfaithful and you found out,

Or was it coming a long time, so you had to walk out?

As my hand brushes against your dress,

I can feel the hurt you are emitting.

You climb the stairs of the bus, slowly and regretfully,

Knowing that this chapter in your life you are now exiting.

Tears roll over your cheeks as you say your final goodbye.

I turn you around and wipe the tears from your eyes.

(Chorus)

What did he say,

To make you feel this way?

What did he say,

To make you run away?

Was he unfaithful and you found out,

Or was it coming a long time, so you had to walk out?

We sat side by side, staring into an empty void.

The World passing behind us, like the day before Yesterday.

Into the future we go, leaving behind the hurt and heading into a new life.

To hell with a life filled with strife.

Our dreams will become a reality, I swear to you,

Don’t live life in the past, live for today, this I pray to you.

(Chorus)

What did he say,

To make you feel this way?

What did he say,

To make you run away?

Was he unfaithful and you found out,

Or was it coming a long time, so you had to walk out?

As I think back to the endless epiphany of life,

You rest your hand on mine.

Your words sweeter than nectar, as you tell me about the lies.

Your heart has been broken once too often,

You feel weak and worthless and as rough as an Orange peel.

Your life has been filled with pain and love gave you a raw deal.

(Chorus)

What did he say,

To make you feel this way?

What did he say,

To make you run away?

Was he unfaithful and you found out,

Or was it coming a long time, so you had to walk out?

A few minutes later all the walls around you come crashing down.

Your sadness makes sense now.

I take you by the hands and look into your eyes,

Whispering softly for you to forget all that has happened.

Especially the part that has you so saddened.

With you in my arms, I can protect you from your fear,

With your hair cascading on my chest, you can now shed your final tear.

(Chorus)

What did he say,

To make you feel this way?

What did he say,

To make you run away?

Was he unfaithful and you found out,

Or was it coming a long time, so you had to walk out?

Fade to black…
