MY HEART'S DONE ITS TIME

I feel the blood constricting 
The straining of my heart
To continue beating
I've pushed it way too far

I want to just pull over
But I'm afraid I'll die
I have to keep on leaving
Cause my heart's done its time

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Half the sky is shining bright
Sun bursting through the clouds
The other half is cold and dark
Enough to bring a body down
Oh, heart, please don't fail me
Stay strong, we broke the hold
We have to keep on leaving
And the sky decides the road
~~*~~

God strike me if I didn't
Make my heart do its best
I knew it was in trouble
Knew long before I left

I just can't understand it
Why it should hurt so much
Doesn't make a bit of sense
To keep on pumping love

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Oh, to save my heart, I have to drive, as far as I can go
I don't have a destination, burned a bridge to all I know
Forced this thing to keep on beating, To love against the odds
It's torn, worn, and barely able to continue pumping on
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Half the sky is shining bright
Sun bursting through the clouds
The other half is cold and dark
Enough to bring a body down
Oh, heart, please don't fail me
Stay strong, we broke the hold
We have to keep on leaving
And the sky decides the road
~~*~~

Heading for sunshine
Leaving dark behind
Time for some healing
My heart's done its time
~~*~~
