Bon Jovi - Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart lyrics

I've been staring at the page

For what seems like days

I guess I put this one off for a while

Did I see a tear fall from your eyes

Or did you laugh so hard that you cried

When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you

Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down

Chorus:

There's no love, there's no hate

I left them there for you to take

But, know that every word was a piece of my heart

You've been the blood in my veins

The only one who knows my middle name

And the smiles they came easy 'cause of you

You know that I love you, but I hate you

'Cause I know I can never escape you

Let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark

Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud

Chorus

Have I said too much

Maybe I haven't said enough

But know that every word was a piece of my heart

Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch

Maybe I've lost my guts - there, is that truth enough

Hey now, Hey now

You know these love letters mix with whisky

Just don't light a match when you kiss me

Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon

Hey now, Hey now, Hey now, am I talking just a little too loud

Chorus

Have I said too much

Maybe I haven't said enough

But know that every word was a piece of my heart

Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud

Hey now, the night's just bringing me down
