Separate Ways
Dee Robert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we stand
World's apart, hearts broken in two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you
Feelin' that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide love divides
*Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If she ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways
Troubled times
Caught between confusion and pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain

If you must go, I wish you love
You'll never walk alone
Take care my love
Miss you love

(*chorus*)

I still love you baby
I really love you baby
And if she ever hurts you




True love won't desert you
No....no...
