Nelson - Because They Can

Be Still Lyrics

by Nelson
Album: Because They Can (1995)



After so many years tryin to set it free
The pain seems to fade but it never leaves
The memories haunt me and I wish theyd let me be
I gambled on love and it tore me apart
Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Be still my heart!

I wasnt born wise but I learned this much
Though you took all I gave it was never enough
There was a time Id have died for your soul, your strength, your touch
But Ill leave it behind, try to make a new start
Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Let the pain fade away

It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream
You lit fire to my soul and you said youd never leave
Its tearin me up, baby, where have you been?
Oh, please, oh please, oh please! please just understand me
And what this nonsense means. oh, yeah!

I gave up my dreams to let you inside
Boy, you sure took my momma;s little boy for a ride
Ill never know how I coulda ben so blind

Well, I gambled on love and it tore me apart
Oh! be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
Be still my heart! my broken heart
Let the pain fade away!
Just a small town floozy a name a backwater lucy,
Drivin me down and down and down and down (be still my heart) oh yeah!!
Thats what I get for bein lazy, womans drivin me crazy

Drivin me down and down and down and down and down (be still my heart)
