Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life lends a crushing blow
And once again, a heart is broken
And as history repeats itself
These few words are sadly spoken
[Verse 2]
I've passed this way before
And I've felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again, yeah
[Verse 3]
As I watch love walking away (Don't go)
It brings back old memories
A familiar pain still feels the same
Once again, heartache has found me (Heartache, old heartache)
[Verse 4]
A dark cloud covered my heart (Old heart)
Oh, when she told me goodbye
Now there's nothing left but emptiness
And the tears that filled my crying eyes
[Verse 5]
I've passed this way before
And I've felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again
[Verse 6]
No matter how strong a man is (No matter)
Without love, he walks in the dark (Walkin' in the dark)
If love deserts him, it will surely hurt him
'Cause his weakness is his heart
[Verse 7]
A lonely journey now stands before me (Lonely journey)
The endless pain has started (Endless pain)
But this time, I know the way
Walkin' alone and broken hearted
[Verse 8]
It's so hard to face reality
Knowing loneliness is my destiny
[Verse 9]
Because I've passed this way before
And I've felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again
I've passed this way before...
