Mmm,
yeah)
I
thought
I
knew
the
rhythm
of
your
heart
Mmm,
yeah)
I
thought
I
knew
the
rhythm
of
your
heart (
Oh,
baby,
why’
d
you
have
to
leave
it
all
in
the
dark?)
It
took
me
years
just
to
let
the
walls
down,
Nelson
Years
of
you
coming
for
me,
knocking
at
the
door
I
finally
gave
you
my
soul,
gave
you
the
best
of
me
I
didn't
know
I
was
signing
up
for
a
war
Across
the
miles,
I
held
the
line
so
tight
My
world
spinning
round
your
time
zone,
every
single
night
I
was
waiting,
I
was
breathing
just
to
keep
us
alive
While
I
was
fighting
for
you,
I
was
barely
surviving
Oh,
Nelson,
I
died
a
thousand
deaths
in
those
hospital
halls
Waiting
for
your
heart
to
beat,
to
answer
your
calls
I
am
a
single
mom,
balancing
the
weight
of
it
all
And
when
the
smoke
cleared,
I
couldn't
feel
you
there
at
all
Yeah,
you
went
AWOL,
left
me
out
here
in
the
cold
Watching
the
story
of
us
begin
to
lose
its
hold
I
tried
to
bridge
the
gap,
I
tried
to
reach
your
hand
But
somehow
we
couldn't
meet,
you
didn't
understand
I
poured
my
life
into
the
space
where
you
should've
been
Raising
my
kids,
hiding
the
tears
within
I
had
to
move
on,
had
to
learn
how
to
exist
without
you
Someone
else,
just
like
you,
found
me
too
and
we're
just
building
Now
you
reappear
like
a
ghost
in
the
rain
Saying
you
never
left,
but
I'm
still
carrying
the
pain
Oh,
Nelson,
I
died
a
thousand
deaths
in
those
hospital
halls
Waiting
for
your
heart
to
beat,
answering
your
calls
I
am
a
single
mom,
balancing
the
weight
of
it
all
And
when
the
smoke
cleared,
I
was
left
trying
to
understand
it
all
Yeah,
you
went
AWOL,
left
me
out
here
in
the
cold
Watching
the
story
of
us
begin
to
lose
its
hold (
Mmm,
I
need
you
to
listen)
I
see
the
old
patterns,
and
they
still
make
me
afraid
Of
taking
for
granted
everything
that
love
requires
to
stay
I’
m
not
the
same
woman,
I've
found
my
own
way
And
I
can't
ignore
the
shadows
that
your
absence
left
behind
Come
here,
look
at
what
your
distance
made
me
become
There's
still
so
much
between
us
that
can't
simply
be
undone
I
loved
you
unconditionally,
that
was
my
truth
I
gave
you
my
ears,
I
gave
you
my
heart
But
love
shouldn't
be
a
weight
that
pulls
me
under
I’
m
gradually
finding
peace,
listening
to
the
thunder
Listen
t'me,
Nelson,
I’
ve
got
a
life
to
lead
I’
ve
got
much
to
deal
with,
I’
ve
got
new
hurdles
to
climb
I'm
trying
to
hold
my
ground,
so
don't
make
it
difficult
for
me (
Oh,
baby,
let
me
be)
Oh,
Nelson,
I
died
a
thousand
deaths
in
those
hospital
halls
Waiting
for
your
heart
to
beat,
answering
your
calls
I
was
a
single
mom,
balancing
the
weight
of
it
all
And
when
the
smoke
cleared,
I
didn't
know
where
I
stood
at
all
Yeah,
you
went
AWOL,
left
me
out
here
in
the
cold
Watching
the
story
of
us
begin
to
lose
its
hold (
Oh,
yeah)
Just
a
shadow
of
the
love
we
knew
I'm
learning
to
choose
myself,
while
still
trying
to
understand
you
Nelson,
I
have
survived
And
I
don't
know
yet
what
tomorrow
holds (
Mmm,
loved
you,
baby) (
Yeah,
loved
you) (
I
hear)
