Nothing But A Heartache Lyrics - Melody Road - Neil Diamond

It wasn't nothing but a heartache 

In the middle of a bad dream 

Like I took on the whole world 

And I never had a chance, girl 

Was a one-way conversation 

I never got the invitation 

The sharpness of her words deceiving 

And I couldn't stop the bleeding 

And Lord, I tried to be forgiving 

But getting by don't mean you're living 

And on that highway going nowhere 

Was an exit overdue 

And all she had to give was heartache 

So she broke my heart in two 

Yes, she did 

You found me drifting in a small boat 

In the middle of an ocean 

You were there on my horizon 

And I didn't have a notion 

Unprepared to comprehend it 

Felt alone and unattended 

Said my prayers and reached my hand out 

And you appeared to me that day 

Came and led me to a new shore 

I had never been there before 

Put me in the right direction 

And you led me out of Hell 

And if it wasn't for your good heart 

I'd have never broke her spell 

'cause you promised me tomorrow 

And I learned that lesson well 

Yes, I did. Yes, I did 

You're the sum of all my heartbeats 

You're the only truth my heart needs 

Showed me how to make the journey 

I can't let you walk away. No, not today 

'cause I've already slept with heartache 

Time to chase the night away 

Just the two of us together 

Does forever sound okay? 

Say "Yes, it does." Say, "Yes, it does." Oh, yes it does.
