Hearts in Armor lyrics

For reasons I've forgotten now

We brought love to an end

Ain't it funny how the little things

Seemed so big back then

Damn the pride that makes me want

To break instead of bend

For reasons I've forgotten now

I lost my one true friend

It's lonely tonight

Lookin' back on yesterday

Seein' the fool I was

Feelin' the price I've paid

And the crazy thing about it is

You don't have to move that mountain

Just help me Lord to climb it

You don't have to move that stumblin' block

Just show me the way around it

We must climb a great high mountain

To reach God's gracious kingdom

In His words you'll find the strength

If you will just believe them

You don't have to move that mountain

Just help me Lord to climb it

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

No turning back, I've come too far
I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland that's a fact
And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes

You make me promises that you don't keep
Tears are expensive, honey, words are cheap
You tell me one thing, then do something else
And even though I know that all too well

I keep forgiving
I keep forgetting
I keep expecting you to change

You say you will
You say you will
You say you will
But you never do

Love doesn't come with any guarantees

You fight for every breath

Caught without a ship in this sea of neglect

The one you swore to love is pulling you down

You're in over your head

Chilled to the bone by the waters you've tread

Chart a course to land, before you drown

Swim to the nearest distant shore

There's only so much a heart can endure

You gave it your best, forgive yourself

You can't hold on anymore

Don't bother sittin' at my table

Just because I'm on my own

Yes I'm a woman and I'm lonely

But that don't mean I can't be strong

Once again he's not beside me

And tonight he won't be coming home

So I just need a place to miss my baby

When he goes out to do me wrong

Tonight I want to do some drinkin'

I came to listen to the band

Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'

You think you got me wrapped around your finger

You treat me like my mama raised a fool

But I'll tell you how you'll feel

When you hear my tires squeal

And I'm gone with somebody new

It's gonna be oh lonesome you

Moaning those all-night blues

Maybe you'll see what it's like to be me

When it's oh lonesome you

My pride is gettin' sore from being stepped on

Sometimes you wonder how much I care
I get so distracted running nowhere
And I take for granted our love is secure
But if I started losing you, one thing is sure

I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

I learned to be strong a long time ago

Momma told her baby, girl take it real slow
Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go
He's waitin' in the car
Momma said girl you won't get far
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh if she could've only seen
But fate's got cards that it don't want to show
And that boy's just

A walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver

You don't have to move that mountain

Just help me Lord to climb it

You don't have to move that stumblin' block

Just show me the way around it

We must climb a great high mountain

To reach God's gracious kingdom

In His words you'll find the strength

If you will just believe them

You don't have to move that mountain

Just help me Lord to climb it

For reasons I've forgotten now

We brought love to an end

Ain't it funny how the little things

Seemed so big back then

Damn the pride that makes me want

To break instead of bend

For reasons I've forgotten now

I lost my one true friend

It's lonely tonight

Lookin' back on yesterday

Seein' the fool I was

Feelin' the price I've paid

And the crazy thing about it is

One more day

My heart's in armor

Though I meant to let you in

In an effort not to harm it

I have missed my chance again

I was singing when I freed you

But my pride was just a veil

I pretended not to need you

Now my heart tells a different tale

And every hour that goes by

The harder I become

Because I let that well run dry

Because I left you unanswered
