road Shining like a northern star Actin' like the answers to all my prayers But baby, I know what you really are So don't you knock on my door I won't be home anymore You can find me out walking in the sun Oh you hide it so well It isn't easy to tell But I know a heartache when I see one There was a time I was a true believer Your love was the only way Well you can save all your sweet talkin' for some other fool Only a fool would believe what you say So don't you knock on my door I won't be home anymore You can find me out walking in the sun Oh, you hide it so well It isn't easy to tell But I know a heartache when I see one Time is a teacher oh and it's taught me well The loser is the one who cries And when you've cried like a baby and you've hurt like hell You know the devil by the look in his eyes So don't you knock on my door I won't be home anymore You can find me out walking in the sun Oh, you hide it so well It isn't easy to tell But I know a heartache when I see one So don't you knock on my door I won't be home anymore You can find me out walking in the sun Oh, you hide it so well It isn't easy to tell But I know a heartache when I see one I know a heartache when I see one Because You Love Me ------------------------------------ I don't know how I survived In this cold and empty world for all this time I only know that I'm alive Because you love me When I recall what I've been through There's some things That I wish I didn't do Now I do the things I do Because you love me And now that you're in my life I'm so glad I'm alive 'Cause you showed me the way And I know now how good it can be Because you love me And now that you're in my life Oh, I'm so glad I'm alive 'Cause you showed me the way And I know now how good it can be Because you love me I believe in things unseen I believe in the message of a dream And I believe in what you are Because you love me With all my heart and all my soul I'm loving you and I never will let go And every day I'll let it show Because you love me Because you love me Because you love me
