Joanna

It cut like a knife through the morning light

And hurt like I couldn't pretend

She said "Thanks for the memories

But this is where we end"

She said "In all honesty

I hoped it might work but it won't

Cos you're not the boy that you used to be

He had a spark and you don't"

I told her I'd change it could still be the same

But she said I was wasting my time

With tears in my eyes I said "love never dies"

But she said that she'd made up her mind

I begged and I pleaded I told her I needed her

Like I need nobody else

If i've made a mistake well what more can I say

Then I'm sorry for being myself!

Joanna, what's the matter?

I thought you loved me

Joanna, what's the matter?

I thought you'd save me

Joanna, what's the matter?

My heart keeps calling out

My heart keeps calling

My body was paralyzed

And the doctor said there was no cure

I'd never known anything

To hurt that much before

I tried to forget her face

I tried not to write her this song

I went to my happy place

But I didn't stay long

I called out her name to the stars and the rain

As I banged and I banged on her door

She said "look it's over, go home and get sober

I don't need your grief anymore

I begged and I pleaded I told her I needed her

Like I need nobody else

If I've made a mistake well what more can I say

Then I'm sorry for being myself

Joanna, what's the matter?

I thought you loved me

Joanna, what's the matter?

I thought you'd save me

Joanna, what's the matter?

My heart keeps calling out

My heart keeps calling
