Reo Speedwagon - The Heart Survives lyrics

When she turned away, you know it was just in time

Cause I'd used up all my strength

And you can't let a woman see you cryin

And you know it's real

She's not gonna change her mind

You choose not to change your ways

Though she begged you a thousand times

And you don't understand

And you want to be a man about it

In time you'll learn to live without it

And you know that you'll survive

But still sometimes you doubt it

If you can stand a little rain

You're gonna grow again

Cause you know that when love dies

The heart survives

Your stare at the empty walls

Inside of this vacant home

You walk through these hollow halls

And at night you sleep alone

And you don't understand

And you want to be a man about it

In time you'll learn to live without it

And you know that you'll survive

But still sometimes you doubt it

If you can stand a little rain

You're gonna grow again

Cause you know that when love dies

The heart survives

Yes you does

You've been over it so many times in your head

Looking for a hidden message of hope

In something she said

Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end

Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend

If you can stand a little rain

You're gonna grow again

Cause you know that when love dies

The heart survives

Yes it does

If you can stand a little rain

You're gonna grow again

Oh yes you will

Cause you know that when love dies

The heart survives

Yes it does
