[Verse 1]
I feel you trying
Though in my heart
I know you're lying
And though your love
For me is dying
I see you crying
[Chorus]
Its the pain on your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul
[Verse 2]
I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope
Until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on
[Chorus]
But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind
[Bridge]
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise
[Outro]
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
