[Verse 1]
Loving, lying enemy, I have seen your face before
Never thought again I'd see, didn't want to any more
I remember your loving eyes and the moonlit kiss
The evening lullabies I would truly miss

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the years we'd had it all
The midnight whispers, the midday calls
This house of cards it had to fall

[Chorus]
And you ask for forgiveness, you're asking too much
I have sheltered my heart in a place you can't touch
Don't believe when you tell me your love is real
'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy
If you have to hurt to feel

[Verse 2]
Every time I see you I can't help but look away
All along I had believed everything you'd say
When I look now I know I've seen your face before
I don't want your deceiving smile standing at my door

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't care what people say
I'm ready now to face this day
'Cause I have lost you along the way
[Chorus]
And you ask for forgiveness, you're asking too much
I have sheltered my heart in a place you can't touch
I don't believe when you tell me your love is real
'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy
If you have to hurt to feel

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy
If you have to hurt
And you ask for forgiveness, you're asking too much
I have sheltered my heart in a place you can't touch
I don't believe when you tell me your love is real
'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy
If you have to hurt to feel
