You know I found it hard to take it that way once you broke that big heart of mine

Magnanimous in nature, mine was a trusting simple way

Until my platitudes were challenged

And he darkened the world that I threw away



Fire breaks through the cracks of a stone

Seems familiar until it heals in time

Into a new world that has grown

Until he turned a chilly back on me

Seems familiar until it heals in time

Into a new world that has grown



To err is human, to forgive can be most maligned

You know I found it hard to believe once you broke that big heart of mine

Magnanimous in nature, mine was a trusting simple way

Until my platitudes were challenged

And he darkened the world that I threw away

Fire breaks through the cracks of a stone

Seems familiar until it heals in time

Into a new world that has



Fire breaks through the cracks of a stone

Seems familiar until it heals in time

Into a new world that has grown
