Love Builds The Bridges (pride Builds The Walls) Lyrics - Patty Loveless

She's twistin' the ring on her finger 

She's watchin' the clock on the wall 

She's hopin' when it finally hits him, he's wrong 

He'll come to his senses an' give her a call 

Across town, he's in a hotel room 

He can't keep his eyes off the phone 

He's thinkin' that soon she will break down and call 

To tell him she's sorry an' beg him back home 

There's a lonesome fool waiting 

On each end of the line 

There's a measure of blame 

On both sides 

Until each heart is willing 

There's no hope at all 

'Cause love builds the bridges 

But pride builds the walls 

The longer they wait on each other 

The harder it gets to give in 

They're too proud to see 

They're just one call away 

From putting their love back together again 

There's a lonesome fool waiting 

On each end of the line 

There's a measure of blame 

On both sides 

Until each heart is willing 

There's no hope at all 

'Cause love builds the bridges 

But pride builds the walls 

Until each heart is willing 

There's no hope at all 

'Cause love builds the bridges 

But pride builds the walls
