Yes - I know it's over.
And yes - I know it hurts.
Yes - I am crying.
And yes - I hide from the world.

But wide is the ocean,
Wide is the land.
The past is forgiven
And time runs like sand.

So why don't you come to me
Heartache, sweet heartache?
I surely can bear your
Tender bitterness
Tonight!

No - I won't lose my hope.
And no - my mind is not black.
No - I don't fear the future.
And no - I don't want you back.

But wide is the ocean,
Wide is the land.
The past is forgiven
And time runs like sand.

So why don't you come to me
Heartache, sweet heartache?
I surely can bear your
Tender bitterness
Tonight!

Perhaps - I am not merciful.
And perhaps - I am no good.
But perhaps - I just want to be sure
That perhaps - you understood.

But wide is the ocean,
Wide is the land
The past is forgiven
And time runs like sand.

So why don't you come to me
Heartache, sweet heartache?
I surely can bear your
Tender bitterness...

So why don't you come to me
Heartache, sweet heartache?
I surely can bear your
Tender bitterness
Tonight!
