Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross - Bethlehems Gate lyrics

(Rich Donahue/Patrick Dollaghan)

He broke your heart and said goodbye

After promising forever

You wonder why you even tried

he was such a good pretender

The love you gave was all in vain

and nothing anyone can say

could ever make you love that way again

It's the lover not the love

who broke your heart last night

It's the lover not the dream

that didn't work out right

if you listen to your heart

you'll know it's true

It's the lover not the love

who deserted you

Don't stop reachin' for the stars

Let tomorrow live inside you

And just remember who you are

Keep the faith and love will find you

A heart in love can lose it's true

Don't give up in time to find

the one who's right will come to you

It's the lover not the love

who broke your heart last night

It's the lover not the dream

that didn't work out right

if you listen to your heart

you'll know it's true

It's the lover not the love

who deserted you

It does no good to second guess

whether love is wrong or right

If it was really meant to be

he'd be with you tonight

It's the lover not the love

who broke your heart last night

It's the lover not the dream

that didn't turn out right

if you listen to your heart

you'll know it's true

It's the lover not the love

who deserted you
