No Rest For The Wounded Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Seems it came without a warnin'
Heartache's knockin' at your door
And this cold, familiar stranger
Makes himself at home once more
Yeah
You know
So you climb onto that big, mad train
And buy a one-way ticket from the sorrow and the pain
But there's just no escape when you run out of faith
Every hope has locked its door
You said love is a liar
A thief in the house of my dreams
Too many promises, too much pride
And you carry that anger like a thorn in your side
'Cause there's no rest for the wounded heart
You build your castles, then you tear them apart
Better run for cover, the sky's turnin' dark
There's no rest, no rest, for the wounded heart
You know
You see those city lights, they blind you
In your search for love's embrace
And ain't it funny, ain't it funny, when it finds you
How you turn and run away
You said love is a liar
A thief in the house of my dreams
Too many memories, too much pain
Now love lies naked in the pourin' rain
And there's no rest for the wounded heart
You build your castles, then you tear them apart
Better run for cover, the sky's turnin' dark
There's no rest, no rest, for the wounded heart
Now baby, I know just how hopeless this feels
But it's never too late to try
'Cause you might end up at the end of your life
Find out you've been livin' a lie
When the angels and the hopeful
Put their tired souls to bed
You'll be locked within your chamber
Lost inside your head
No rest for the wounded heart
You build your castles, then you tear them apart
Better run for cover, the sky's turnin' dark
There's no rest, no rest
No rest for the wounded heart
You build your castles, then you tear them apart
Better run for cover, the sky's turnin' dark
There's no rest, no rest, for the wounded heart
Better run, better run
For the wounded heart, no rest
The sky's turnin' dark, the sky's turnin' dark
No rest for the wounded heart
No rest for the wounded heart
No rest for the wounded heart
