Bitterblue

(albert hammond, diane warren, roy orbison)
Producer for bonnie: roy bittan

I had somebody, somebody who loved me
Someone so good to me
You were my angel, you were my heaven
But i was too blind to see
I let you slip away, i guess i never knew
I had the world with you
I'd be there, still be there in your arms

Chorus:
If not for my careless heart
You'd still be loving me
If not for my careless heart
You'd still be mine
I wouldn't have this hurt inside
L wouldn't have these tears to cry
If not for my careless heart
If not for my careless heart

I had my chances
I took advantage
I took it all too far
So now you're gone and i'm all alone
Alone with my lonely heart
I let it fall apart, i didn't care enough
I lost your precious love
You'd be here, still be here in my arms

Chorus:

Bridge:
I'd be loving you, i'd be holding you
I'd be loving you, if not for my
Careless heart

Instrumental:

I wouldn't have this hurt inside
I wouldn't have these tears to cry

Chorus:

Producer for bonnie: howard houston

I'll take the train to nowhere
This love is a sacrifice
My heart ain't big enough babe
For your paradise -
Oh darling i'm crazy - after all these years

Don't throw away my love babe
I'm not a lonely child
Tomorrow's such a long time
My dreams are running wild -
Oh darling i'm crazy - after all these years

I gave you all my love for free
My tears are full of memories
Give me love, give me all
Baby, catch me when i'll fall tonight

Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that i'm too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
That's no way to say goodbye

I'll be sailing on a rainbow
If you will change your mind
Don't throw away this love babe
Love is hard to find -
Oh darling i'm crazy - after all these years

Come save a little room babe
In your heart for me
We can make it better
Love is a mystery -
Oh darling i'm crazy - after all these years

Oh i sold my heart to you
I gave you love and heaven, too
Give me love, give me all
Baby catch me when i'll fall tonight

Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that i'm too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye

Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that i'm too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye

And that's no way to say goodbye
And that's no way to say goodbye
And that's no way to say goodbye

Chorus:
Save me darling won't you save me
Oh this heart is in distress
I need some tenderness so take me
Take me in your arms and save me
Only you can save me
Save me

I can't stand another lonely night
I need your arms to hold me tight
Darling please oh won't you hurry back home
Oh don't you let me face this night alone

'cause i'm drowning in loneliness
Can't you hear my heart sending out an sos

Chorus 2:
Save me darling won't you save me
Oh this heart is in distress
I need some tenderness so take me
Take me in your arms and save me
Only you can save me
Come on bring your love around
Rescue me right now save me

I'm going out of my mind
You don't know the way i'm feeling inside
Come on babe throw me a line
Cause i'm drowning in loneliness
Can't you hear my heart sending out an sos

Repeat chorus 2

Save me from this emptiness
Save me from this loneliness
Save me can't you hear my heart
Calling
Calling out to you to save me

Chorus out

Oh baby - i was always around
To pick you up when you were falling down
Now baby - when you were crying the blues
Wasn't i the one that you came crying to?
In all the years gone by
You've never seen me cry
I never let you see the other side of me

Chorus:
Where were you
When i needed somebody to lean on?
Yeah where were you
When i needed a shoulder to cry on?
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess i was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you'd be there for me
Where were you?

Oh baby - when you needed a friend
I stuck beside you girl through thick and thin
Now baby - when no-one cared at all
Wasn't i the one that you would always call
I gave away my heart, i knew just where i stood
Till i reached out for you 'cause i thought i could

(chorus)

Now even more than what i'm going through
The cut that hurts the most is your attitude
You're pretty good at taking what you need
You've got a lot to learn about loyalty...

Believe me baby...there were times
You drove me crazy...i was so blind
Where were you?

I never let you down when you were full of fear
Saved you from drowning in a sea of tears
Why baby why then weren't you ever
There for me?

(chorus)

Ooh run away lucky while you still know the way
If you're looking' for your chance for one good payday
Do you really think you've got a ghost of a chance?
It's the coldest of towns to be lookin' for romance

Ooh run away baby - you're too young to see
The way it's goin' down on the city streets
When trouble comes around there is no mystery
You're running' from it all so you better run now

Love is in pieces - put it back together now
It's supposed to be easy - but it's so so mad
All the things we say
When the world's gone crazy - it's so hard to handle
Sooner or later it'll all come clearer
When love is in love again

Ooh pictures in the paper of the faces you've seen
Walking down the halls where justice is done
What they say they say is not what they mean?
A different set of rules than are meant for you and me

Everybody's looking for an easier way
So go go go go
Everybody running from a shadow today
But they run so slow

(nik kershaw)
Producer for bonnie: nik kershaw

No matter how hard i try
No matter how many days go by
I really can't make this feeling go away
Whenever i change my mind
Whenever i turn my head around
The only one i can see every single day

He's got a hold on me
Nothing i can say
Nothing i can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you

Whenever he's somewhere else
I try to remember if i can
When if only i could forget
I think i'd be just fine
I wonder where he came from
I wonder what name he answers to
Whatever he calls himself
I'd like to call him mine

He's got a hold on me
Nothing i can say
Nothing i can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you

It could be my low resistance
And you can all be as smug as hell
But you all better keep your distance
Unless you wanna get burnt as well

Whenever he walks on by
And looks at me then i know
That he is never letting go

He's got a hold on me
Nothing i can say
Nothing i can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you

I remember times like this
Memories you can't dismiss of paradise
Looking for a way to start our love again
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to live all our lives
We can be as one again
Finally find a way to say that we know the truth

'til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we have to give

Children of another time
We lay it all upon the line
To say i love you
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to say
I love you

'til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give

'til the end of time we love
Every night and every day
Reaching for the higher ground
Reaching for the higher ground

'til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give
