I Lose My Heart
Chris Isaak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say that you don't cry
Moved on to someone else
But you go right on smiling
While I'm left by myself
Left out and on my own
With nothing left to do
But sit and think of things
That never will come true
Here comes the part again
You break my heart again
Oh its true
Here comes a reason why
Why I'm gonna sit and cry like I do
Yeah I still love you

Here comes a reason why
I'm gonna sit and cry like I do
You found somebody else
And I'm left by myself
Oh its true

Yeah I still love you
They say that someone new
Is holding you tonight
But you say nothings changed
That things will work out right
Here comes the part again
You break my heart again
Oh its true
Here comes the reason why
You ought to sit and cry like I do

Yeah I still love you
I still love you




I still love you
Oh I still love you
