Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh yeah
Oh
Promised not to leave her, said I'd never disappear
She knows I'll comeback someday
Crying in the bathroom as the mirror disappears
Holding on to faded moments
I think I did it again
I got lost in the wind again
Oh momma
I think I did it again
I got lost in the wind again
Oh, I'll never leave you heartless, heartless
Never leave you standing in the darkness, the darkness
Oh darling, no I promise, I promise
I'm never gonna leave you heartless, heartless
Ooh
Never gonna leave me, said she'd always be right here
Even when she's farthest away
Underneath your worry girl
The reasons always clear
Hold on to this very moment
Momma, I think I did it again
I got lost in the wind again
Oh momma
I think I did it again
I got lost in the wind again
No, I'll never leave you heartless, heartless
Never leave you standing in the darkness, the darkness
(I'll never, I'll never see)
Darling, no I promise, I promise
(I'll never)
I'm never gonna leave you heartless, heartless
Oh no, no, no
Oh, you know I'm never gonna let you down, down
Oh, you know I'm never gonna let you down, down, down
Oh, down, down, down, down
Oh, no no
No, I'll never leave you heartless, heartless
Oh never leave you standing in the darkness, the darkness
(I'll never, I'm never gonna)
Darling, no I promise, I promise
(I won't ever let you down)
Heartless, heartless
(You know I'll be right back)
Heartless, heartless
You know you know I'm never gonna leave you heartless
One million miles away I'll still find you, I'll still find you, yeah
One million miles away I'll still find you, I'll still find you, yea, yeah
One million miles away I'll still find you, I'll still find you, yeah
Heartless, heartless oh (I never want it , I never want it)
