Song Lyrics

Wait, there's so much I haven't said
I'm so sorry I've been weak
I'm so sorry I've been afraid
See, this foolish heart of mine can't take all the pain

And now, as I look into your eyes
I feel guilty and ashamed
For all the tears I never cried
See, this foolish heart of mine can't take all the pain

I hope you understand it
'Cause every time I realized you were gone
It made me feel so helpless and alone
I needed to get through it

Now your memory is tearing me apart
And I don't know what I'm left with
'Cause this foolish heart of mine, it can't ever win

For years, oh, for years
I felt much anger deep inside
And my vengeance I replaced
The faces that left me behind
Now this foolish heart of mine couldn't take all the pain, all the pain

Oh, I hope you understand it
'Cause every time I realized you were gone
It made me feel so helpless and alone
I needed to get through it

And now your memory is tearing me apart
And I don't know what I'm left with
'Cause this foolish heart of mine, it can't ever win

I really miss you
The good as much as the bad
I really need you and all the love we had

Oh, I remember your love
Yes, I remember your love

Oh father, father I wish you were here
I wish you were here so you can see the man I've grown up to be
Mother, I wish you were here
So you can see the girl I married

Brothers, I wish you were here
So I can have somebody I can call "my brother"
Sister, I wish you were here
So I can see the girl you'd grow up to be
Oh, yes, I remember your love

See, if I'm here crying
If I'm here loving, if I'm here caring
It's for one reason only
'Cause I remember your love

And now I wanna thank you
For this foolish heart of mine
Oh, this foolish heart of mine
This foolish heart of mine
Oh, I wanna thank you
For this foolish heart of mine
