| Don’t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
 | 
| I’m writing the book each and every day
 | 
| Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
 | 
| I’ve been running on empty since you went away.
 | 
| The spirit world looks down on us Sad that we’re apart
 | 
| So please don’t speak of my heart.
 | 
| Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on Meanwhile I’m drowning in the pouring rain
 | 
| And each time we meet there’s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
 | 
| She tells me someday I’m gonna love again.
 | 
| The way that she walked out on me Still tears me apart
 | 
| So please don’t speak of my heart.
 | 
| Every day’s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
 | 
| No one believed we were saying Ђ?Goodbye'
 | 
| And every night I think of you I’m still left wondering why
 | 
| I can’t believe that we’re saying goodbye.
 | 
| And when I wake up in the morning
 | 
| And wonder where I’m going to It all came without a warning
 | 
| What’s a man supposed to do?
 | 
| Don’t let your heart break down
 | 
| Don’t let your heart break down.
 | 
| Don’t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
 | 
| I’m writing the book each and every day
 | 
| Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
 | 
| I’ve been running on empty since you went away.
 | 
| The spirit world looks down on us,
 | 
| Sad that we’re apart
 | 
| Don’t wanna talk about it -- don’t make me think about it So please don’t speak of my heart.
