The fog is landing on this cold street
Halfway to where my world and yours meet
I turn the car dial up and feel the false heat
Before I'm back home, lying getting no sleep
I grew up running from the outside
Spent evenings looking for a place to hide
If I said love came easy, then you know I lied
I wish that love came easy, but I have to try
Tomorrow I'll be by your side again
With all the hurt that I've been holding in
I know I'm failing but I'm trying hard
I swear I'll be there when the tears start
Before the sky comes falling and the seas part
I'm gonna learn to love you with my whole heart
You went home thinking I was distant
You thought it must have been what you said
But I don't need no reasons to be upset
When I can make up trouble in my own head
But when I tell you you mean everything
It's more than words I only half mean
I know I'm failing but I'm trying hard
I swear I'll be there when the tears start
Before the sky comes falling and the seas part
I'm gonna learn to love you with my whole heart
And after all these years
And after all I've tried
I'm watching for the night when you confirm my worst fears
'Cause you have gone home crying for the last time
I know I'm failing but I'm trying hard
I swear I'll be there when the tears start
Before the sky comes falling and the seas part
I'm gonna learn to love you with my whole heart
