Questions of the heart
It was eighteen years or more
Oh the way you held me tight
We let the world pass by us
As we loved into the night
For reasons unexplained
Our hearts drifted slowly cold
The feelings slowly changed
The newness now was old
You looked at other lovers
I guess I did the same
She stole you from my essence
I couldn't bear the pain
I drifted towards another
I made a brand new start
He never had the answers
To the questions of my heart
Out of the blue I called you
I poured my feelings free
I tried to make you listen
I want you here with me
You laughed and told me never
We had to stay apart
I guess I couldn't answer
The questions of your heart
