Take This Heart - Samantha Mooney

I've been where you are before No one understands you more You fear every step you take So sure that your heart will break It's not how the story ends You'll be back on your feet again Baby, this time There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away No more goodbyes There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away The pain's still alive in you For what one man puts you through You say that we're all the same But I'm called by no other name We all need a place to run Won't you let me be the one? Baby, this time There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away No more goodbyes There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away Don't keep a dream in you locked outside your door Just believe in this love And don't be afraid anymore Come on, come on I need you to please be strong I've waited for you too long Baby, this time There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away No more long nights There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away This time There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away No more goodbyes There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away Hey-yeah-yeah

Take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes Honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now With so much time to spend Why paint this house again? When the floorboards creak and pull you from your slumber Well, I'd hold you 'til the end But honey, even oaks must bend If we intend to stick with one another So take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes And honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now Out the door and down the drive There's a part of me that tries To keep that highway's call to me away And another, further still That sadly never will Feel at home no matter how long I may stay So take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes And honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now
