– (3x) – – – ]

 After all these years tryin’ to set it free

 The pain seems to fade but it never leaves

 The memories haunt me and I wish they’d let me be. Yeah!

 I gambled on love

 and it tore me apart

 Be still, be still, be still,

 My broken heart

 Be still my heart!

 I wasn’t born wise but I learned this much

 Though you took all I gave it was never enough

 There was a time I’d have died for your soul, your strength, your touch

 But I’ll leave it behind,

 try to make a new start

 Be still, be still, be still,

 My broken heart

 Let the pain fade away!

 It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream

 You lit fire to my soul and you said you’d never leave

 It’s tearin’ me up, baby, where have you been?

 Oh, please, oh please, oh please!

please just understand me

 And what this nonsense means. oh, yeah!

…

 I gave up my dreams to let you inside

 Boy, you sure took my momma;s little boy for a ride

I’ll never know how I coulda ben so blind

I gambled on love

 and it tore me apart

 Be still, be still, be still,

 My broken heart

 Be still, be still, be still,

 My broken heart

 Be still my heart!

 My broken heart

 Let the pain fade away!

 Just a small town floozy a ’name’ a backwater lucy,

 Drivin’ me down and down and down and down

 (be still my heart) oh yeah!!

 That’s what I get for bein’ lazy, woman’s drivin’ me crazy

 Drivin’ me down and down and down and down

 (be still my heart) oh yeah!!
