Lyrics

"My Heart Won't Take The Load"
Music written and performed by David Ross
Lyrics written by Doug Ahders

I had opened my heart to love after years of being alone
I thought from the last time my heart had grown cold
Then you walked into my life
I just couldn't leave you alone
I had to be near you
There was something about you
I held you on a throne

But I had to leave you wondering if I would wait here for you
Your love had turned away more and more each day
I couldn't take any more
One from you past took my place
Perhaps I didn't put up a fight
But I loved you so badly
You made me so mad
And I just can't take being alone

Chorus:
But I loved you then and I love you now
Can't let the feelings go
I can't seem to make it on my own
My heart won't take the load
But I loved you then and I love you now
But I gotta let the feelings go
Put you out of my mind
Maybe go blind
My heart won't take the load

I call you up and talk to myself
Nothing seems to be there
Or are you hiding it from me now
Or was it just never there?
So I close my heart
Surround in stone
And live my life again
And fight to get back in your eyes
Or start all over again

Chorus:
But I loved you then and I love you now
I'll hold my head up high
Protect my heart or tear it apart
And let my life go by
But I loved you then and I love you now
But I gotta let the feelings go
Put you out of my mind
Maybe go blind
My heart won't take the load
