I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror I don't want to talk about it, How you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen To my heart, Whoa, my heart? If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the colors of my heart Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, They're a mirror I don't want to talk about it, How you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen To my heart, Whoa, my heart? My heart Ooh, my heart, this old heart I don't want to Talk about it, How you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen To my heart, Whoa, my heart? My heart, Whoa, my heart
