Lyrics for Love Needs a Heart

Maybe the hardest thing I've ever done Was to walk away from you Leaving behind the life that we'd begun I split myself in two Proud and alone Cold as a stone Rolling down that hill into the night I could see the surprise and the hurt in your eyes There behind each flashing city light Love needs a heart And I need to find If loves needs a heart like mine Love won't come near me She don't even hear me She walks by my vacancy sign And love needs a heart Trusting and blind I wish that heart was mine Proud and alone Cold as a stone I'm afraid to believe the things I feel I can cry with the best I can laugh with the rest But I'm never sure when it's real And it may be the hardest thing I've ever done But apart from all that I hope to find Where's the heart that's been looking for mine? I hope it finds me in time Love needs a heart and I need to find If love needs a heart like mine
