I never found it hard
To be the owner of a heart
That's getting lost on everyone I meet
For crying out loud
I've got other things to think about
Don't make me get down on my knees
People come and go
And I ain't the one to know
If we'll make it to the end of the line
I've got other things in life
That make me lonely, scared and tired
So please don't make me crippled inside
Cause it's true baby
I've never been lonelier
Than ever since we're far apart
And it's true baby
You've been standing on the shore
Waiting for a shipwrecked heart
Conclusions have been drawn
I learned to get along
And tried to turn the hands of time
But I've been there before
And babe, I know the score
So please don't make me crippled inside
Cause it's true baby
I've never been lonelier
Than ever since we're far apart
And it's true baby
You've been standing on the shore
Waiting for a shipwrecked heart
I'll be you father, brother
Best friend and lover
I'll be doing the best that I can
But before I go
I gotta let you know
I can't get any closer than I am
Cause it's true baby
I've never been lonelier
Than ever since we're far apart
And it's true baby
You've been standing on the shore
Waiting for a shipwrecked heart
You've been standing on the shore
Waiting for a shipwrecked heart
