Another Beat of the Heart...
I've been running through your town
At the speed of sound
I've been looking for you everywhere
I need another chance
at sweet romance
But you told me that you just don't care

I would always say
I love you every day
But what good did that do?
You passed me by
In the blink of an eye
When you told me that we both are through

And I don't need to know the reason why you left
I don't need to know his name
All I need is hope you'll keep me in your heart
And things will get back to the same.
You said you were confused and had to get away
You said you needed time to grow
You never even knew how you tore our love apart
And I'm just waiting for you to show
....Another beat of the heart.

And then I saw you once again
With your new boyfriend
You pretended like I wasn't there
Your reflection in the glass
As you walked on past
With the wind blowing through your hair

It hurts me deep inside
That you never cried
No you never even had any fears
The love we had today
Has been thrown away
With the heart you stole for seven years

And I don't need to know the reason why you left
I don't need to know his name
All I need is hope you'll keep me in your heart
And things will get back to the same.
You said you were confused and had to get away
You said you needed time to grow
You never even knew how you tore our love apart
And I'm just waiting for you to show
....Another beat of the heart.
Another beat of the heart.
Another beat of the heart....
