Since the day I was led to temptation And in weakness did let your love down I have prayed that with time and compassion You'd come around [Chorus] I keep waiting for you to forgive me And you keep saying you can't even start And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown To the hard rock bottom of your heart To the hard rock bottom of your heart Now this home we have built is still standing Its foundation is on solid ground Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it Or burn it down [Chorus] We can't just block it out we've got to talk it out Until our hearts get back in touch I need your love I miss it I can't go on like this is Hurts too much
