The Violence of Your Heart © January, 2011 David Nyro Verse 1: Stop! Think what you re doing Wait! Take a moment to reflect Stop! we're on the road to ruin In your eyes I see storm clouds brewin I know I should be runnin away - yet still I stay, Still I stay. Verse 2: Words can be an awful weapon In the hands of a practiced pro Cuts that slice, slice me open Seems I spend my days and nights in a state of confusion I don't want to believe that my baby is bad but he is . . . but he is O o o o o o o o Chorus: The Violence of your heart The Violence of your heart, has left me shaken The Violence of your heart took me by surprise The Violence of your heart has brought me low. . . Useless tears fill my eyes Verse 3: Stop! Think what you're doing. Wait! It doesn't have to end this way. Please - If there's any love left for usIs there anything that I can say . . .to turn the tide? I know we're past the point of no return When will I learn? When will I learn? Chorus: O o o o o o o The Violence of your heart took a painful toll The Violence of your heart has left me broken The Silence of your heart has crushed my soul. Useless tears fill my eyes Useless tears cloud my eyes. Bridge: I always tried - tried to see your soft side, baby. The one you tried - Tried so hard to hide Cause I know, you too have cried. Cause I know, you too have cried Chorus: The Violence of your heart has left its mark The Violence of your heart has been such a blow The Silence of your heart, left me in the dark The Violence of your heart, the Violence of your heart, the Violence of your heart - has brought me low. Useless tears fill my eyes Useless years, rolling by Useless tears cloud my eyes Useless tears cloud my e yes
