Heartbreak, longing, memories

Inspired by the love we have to walk away from. Heartbreak, longing, memories. 

Heartbreak, longing, memories 
By Michelle Morris

I loved you
I don't mind singing that song 
I don't regret it 
No love given freely is wrong 

It doesn't matter now
It doesn't matter what you say
I walk away with my head held high
I don't need to talk about your betrayals

Somewhere in the bitterness 
Of all those long, hard years 
I realised I deserve way more from you 
I deserve way more than these damn tears

Heartbreak, longing, memories
Oh, how they tug at my mind
Heartbreak, longing, memories
Why is a good man so hard to find?

Heartbreak, longing, memories
Oh, how they tear at my heart 
Heartbreak, longing, memories
Who'd have thought we'd drift apart?

So, why, why do we do it like this?
And why, oh why, oh why, do we do it like that?
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why... Baby, baby?
Why?

I loved you, oh yes, I did
I don't mind singing that song 
I don't regret it, I don't regret it baby
No love given freely is forgotten

It doesn't matter now
It doesn't matter what they say
I walk away with my head held high
I don't need to talk about our yesterdays 

Heartbreak, longing, memories
Oh, how they tug at my mind
Heartbreak, longing, memories
Why is a good man so hard to find?

Heartbreak, longing, memories
Oh, how they tear at my heart 
Heartbreak, longing, memories
Who'd have thought we'd drift apart?

Heartbreak, longing, memories
Oh, how they tug at my mind
Heartbreak, longing, memories
Why is a good man so hard to find?

Heartbreak, longing, memories
Oh, how they tear at my heart 
Heartbreak, longing, memories
Who'd have thought we'd drift apart?
