wasted heart
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my flower, you're my road
That I try to stay up on
Even when things, they go wrong
You stay there with me

You don't stay for what I do
The sleepless nights I drug you through
When I say things I don't mean to
Yea, you stay there with me

You uncovered this outlaw soul
You should've gone, baby, long ago
But you shined a light where it was dark
On my wasted heart

When I flew, you pulled me down
When I crashed you were the ground
When my bones scattered all around
You stayed with me

You uncovered this outlaw soul
You should've gone, baby, long ago
But you shined a light where it was dark
On my wasted heart

My wasted heart needed healing
And you saved it for me
I've got a new start, rest your eyes in time
These days will say what I never could

You stayed with me
You uncovered this outlaw soul
You should've gone, baby, long ago
You shined a light where it was dark, ooh

You uncovered this outlaw soul
You should've gone, baby, long ago




You shined a light where it was dark
On my wasted heart
