Lyrics
Separated Lover
I just canêt sleep
Iêve got two problems on my mind
I just canêt rest
My guilty past wonêt let me slide
You give me love
But love ainêt always what I need
A girl needs fun
And he knows just what that word means
How do I survive
How do I get by
When I gotta choose between the two things I need most
Whatês it gonna take
How am I gonna make a choice and make one of them go
I have no tears Iêm like a barren dessert floor
My heart is brittle
Iêm a separated lover
I stand divided
with each side wanting more
I have so little
Iêm a separated lover
Iêm a separated lover
Yes I was weak
I took this further than I planned
I canêt let go
When Iêm getting everything I can
Thereês not much time
I donêt know how long I can last
I wont get by
til I can stand behind one man
Where did I go wrong
Why canêt I be strong
When I have to try and save the oneês that I love most
Whatês it gonna take
How am I gonna make a choice
and make one of them go
I have no tears Iêm like a barren dessert floor
My heart is brittle
Iêm a separated lover
I stand divided
with each side wanting more
I have so little
Iêm a separated lover
Iêm a separated lover
Iêve held on for so long
Iêve lived a life divided
Iêm taken my chances
Iêm just deceiving myself
I reach out for your hand
but you just keep to yourself
United and still standing but by myself alone
I have no tears Iêm like a barren dessert floor
My heart is brittle
Iêm a separated lover
I stand divided
with each side wanting more
I have so little
Iêm a separated lover
I have no tears Iêm like a barren dessert floor
My heart is brittle
Iêm a separated lover
I stand divided
with each side wanting more
I have so little
Iêm a separated lover
Iêm a separated lover
