Lyrics

When The Truth Hurts

The first time we met, our heaven was on fire

My burning heart was aching, unfulfilled desire

I’d been a fool in longing for your love

The magic is gone, we’re livin’ out of touch

Did you ever sing in the rain ?

Have you ever felt the pain ?

Crossing the line on the edge of our time

Searchin’ for words, when the truth hurts

Our love was so strong, but now it’s lost and gone

Searchin’ for words, when the truth hurts

You’re gone with the wind, leaving shadows of love

Our whispering hearts were torn apart
