Heartache Is An Uphill Climb Lyrics - Tift Merritt

How does the scar forgive the knife? 

How does the pride forget the fight? 

The one that laid it down so low 

The one still throwing tall shadows 

Tell me, tell me. 

I heard that it was step by step, 

That it takes time, time, time, 

The going it is slow, slow, slow, 

Heartache is an uphill climb. 

A broken heart holds only fear 

What I told mine through my tears 

Whatever it is that you feel 

You must be bigger than this hill best be bigger than this hill. 

Believe me. believe me. 

So I went step by step... 

Uphill, steep steep steep 

I got a lot in front of me 

I'll never make it there to see 

If I am carrying your memory
