A heart that won't let go

"A Heart That Won't Let Go"

Verse 1

I came home early, just tryin’ to surprise,

But the scene I walked into cut me down to size.

Her laugh was for another, her touch wasn’t mine,

In one cruel moment, she left it all behind.

Chorus

And now the walls are crumblin’, the roof’s caving in,

What once was a home feels hollow within.

But two little boys with their eyes so wide,

Keep me hangin’ on, though I’m broke inside.

Verse 2

I packed up their toys, wiped their tears away,

Told ‘em, “Daddy’s here, and I’m here to stay.”

But the nights get long, and the whiskey’s near,

Still, I hold their faces to keep my heart clear.

Chorus

‘Cause the walls are crumblin’, the roof’s caving in,

What once was a home feels hollow within.

But two little boys with their eyes so wide,

Keep me hangin’ on, though I’m broke inside.

Bridge

I pray every morning, I fight every night,

For a love that’s gone wrong and a world that ain’t right.

I’d give up it all if I could go back,

But my sons keep me steady on this broken track.

Chorus

Though the walls are crumblin’, the roof’s caving in,

What once was a home feels hollow within.

But two little boys with their eyes so wide,

Keep me hangin’ on, though I’m broke inside.

Outro

This ain’t the life I dreamed, but it’s the one I’ve got,

And I’ll fight for my boys with all that I’ve fought.

A man can lose his world, but still carry the load,

When love for his children makes his heart never let go.
