Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know the way that I feel about you

I'm never gonna run away

I'm never gonna run away

Never knew the way

[Verse 2]

When I lived without you

I'm never gonna run away

I'm never gonna run away

[Verse 3]

I came to you when no one could hear me

I'm sick and weary of being alone

Empty streets and hungry faces

The world's no place when you're on your own

A heart needs a home

[Verse 4]

Some people say that I should forget you

I'm never gonna be a fool

I'm never gonna be a fool

[Verse 5]

A better life they say

If I'd never met you

I'm never gonna be a fool

I'm never gonna be a fool

[Verse 6]

Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers

Indian givers, hearts of stone

Paper ships and painted faces

The world's no place when you're on your own

A heart needs a home
