Nelson Lyrics

Album: Because They Can

Be Still Lyrics

After so many years tryin' to set it free 

The pain seems to fade but it never leaves 

The memories haunt me and I wish they'd let me be 

I gambled on love and it tore me apart 

Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart 

Be still my heart! 

I wasn't born wise but I learned this much 

Though you took all I gave it was never enough 

There was a time I'd have died for your soul, your strength, your touch 

But I'll leave it behind, try to make a new start 

Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart 

Let the pain fade away 

It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream 

You lit fire to my soul and you said you'd never leave 

It's tearin' me up, baby, where have you been? 

Oh, please, oh please, oh please! Please just understand me 

And what this nonsense means. Oh, yeah! 

I gave up my dreams to let you inside 

Boy, you sure took my momma;s little boy for a ride 

I'll never know how I coulda ben so blind 

Well, I gambled on love and it tore me apart 

Oh! Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart 

Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart 

Be still my heart! My broken heart 

Let the pain fade away! 

Just a small town floozy a 'name' a Backwater Lucy, 

Drivin' me down and down and down and down (be still my heart) Oh Yeah!! 

That's what I get for bein' lazy, woman's drivin' me crazy 

Drivin' me down and down and down and down and down (be still my heart)
