(shelly peiken)
I hear you calling from the street
outside my window
you keep returning
just to tell me that you're gone
no need to keep repeating
old words lose their meaning
if you can't stay away
you don't mean what you say
you carry your heart
no one can hold
all of that weight on their shoulders
you carry your heart
when it gets cold
you run to me
you can't carry you heart alone
when i told you that i'd wished
you'd stay forever
did it make it harder, to remain
now you lock my love inside you
run for cover, but you can't hide
closin your mind to the love you leave behind
you carry your heart , no one can hold
all of that weight on their shoulders
you carry your heart
when it gets cold you run to me
see you can't carry your heart
carry your heart
everytime you need a hand to hold
you'll have to give it up
to get it back
you'll have to trust me long enough
to know, i'll never let it go
you carry your heart, no one can hold
all that weight on their shoulders
you carry your heart
when it gets cold, you run to me
you can't carry your heart alone
