Inside my heart there’s a hole black as tar - can you fix it?
Deserted by love, I’m left in the lurch all alone.
Whispers and shadows and memories are all in my head now.
Holding back the tears I can’t bring back the years that are passed.

When everything’s over it’s hard to get over and live on.
All days the same and the nights are to blame for the coldness.
Give me a reason, give me a reason to hold on.
Would you stay the course, would you let it go in my place?

I can remember you wouldn’t surrender at no time.
But I’m not the one who was ready to fight like you were.
Now you’re a stranger, I think it’s called madness, I do.
Would you still know me, would you say hello on the street?

Give me your hand when I need it so bad I can’t reach it.
Give me a smile, just a look or a sign you still know me.
Give me a chance just to know in advance when you don’t.
Give me a hint if you want me to give you a break.
