Lyrics for Straight From The Heart
Do you need me Like I need you? Look at me, I'm crying From holding you Make me forget The pain that you caused Understanding is a great thing If it comes from the heart If time would stand still While I'm thinking of you I'd think of all the things That I wanted of you To make me forget The pain that you caused Understanding is a great thing If it comes from the heart Picking up the pieces Of my broken heart It was real hard A fragile thing like life It just don't last so long It could be for a minute or an hour Or then again, from now on If time would stand still While I'm thinking of you I'd think of all the pain That I wanted of you To make me forget The pain that you caused Understanding it's a great thing, yeah, yeah, yeah If it comes from the heart (Understanding's a great thing) Yes, it is, if it comes from the heart Life is too fragile Don't abuse it now Time isn't promised to everyone
