Achilles' Heart Lyrics - Singles - Stiff Little Fingers

It was a different world back then 

Though not so long ago 

I thought I understood most men 

And now I just don't know 

For all that I thought myself smart 

I can't fix the rupture and break 

In my achilles' heart 

And all the certainties I had 

Here all been washed away 

It seems my world was built on sand 

It vanished in a day 

With all my beliefs torn apart 

And I'm left with now are the shards 

(of) my achilles' heart 

What seemed like dreams are really nightmares 

What seemed like fiction's really real 

When my brain won't take in what my eyes say they've seen 

Then we've surely reached the end 

So although life must soldier on 

A way of living now has gone 

A right to freedom and to be 

Has been denied to you and me 

It's difficult but we must start 

To undo the damage that's done 

To our Achilles' heart
