Píseň: The Love That You Had

Interpret:
Tracy Chapman
Album:
Matters Of The Heart
The love that youh ad
In your heart is gone
Any touch of sincerity
Any trace of compassion
What hardened your heart?
What turned it to stone?
What made you forget?
You were in love with someone


Your hands don't reach out
Your voice doesn't call me
I know you've stopped listening
Your eyes look straight through me


If nights are like this
I'd rather be alone
Who said you could forget
You were in love with someone?


Tell me what hardened your heart
Tell me what turned it to stone
Tell me what made you forget
You were in love with someone


Was I wrong to forgive
Your indiscretions?
Should I have been more hysterical
Less understanding?


If you're looking for a villain
Go on assume the role
But don't say that it's my fault
That you're not in love with someone


Tell me what hardened your heart
Tell me what turned it to stone
Tell me what made you forget
You were in love with someone


Tell me there's someone in your life
I'll fight to keep your for my own
Tell me because I really want to know
Why you can't be in love with someone
