Don't let my heart keep breaking, 'cause
I need your love

Do you find things are moving just a little too fast

We were together all the way
An endless path unbroken

A torture less sublime
Our souls are locked and frozen

I leave the heat on to leave a trace
Of all the things the air was filled with

But you may adopt another point of view
So if it's much too hazy
You can leave my friend and me with fond adieu

And you have never been in love
Until you have seen the dawn rise
Behind the home for the blind
