lyrics

HEART OF LEAD
Ola Onabule © 2004

We were more than friends in another story
Till that strange mood cast its spell on you
Those heady days are gone, nothing of them remain
Life has kept the promises it made to me
But what is this I see, this pain behind your smile
As you say, I should come your way, stop by for a while

Let’s move on, that’s what you said,
So I’m surprised you’re still lovin' me now.
Cos I moved on with a heart of lead,
And it ain’t fair to say you still love me now.

You just wanna talk, what’s there to say,
We’ll only make this craziness worse.
I may have thought of you, wondered how you were,
Wondered if you’d settled down and gotten over us.
Please don’t start to cry, I never know what to do.
You made a choice, You said just go,
hurt me in my soul

Let’s move on, that’s what you said,
So I’m surprised you’re still lovin' me now.
Cos I moved on with a heart of lead,
And it ain’t fair to say you still love me now.
What you wanna go back there for!

Oh darling seems like you ain’t got nothing to say in your defence.
So much water’s flowed under that bridge now,
Lets put it down to experience.

Let’s move on, that’s what you said,
So I’m surprised you’re still lovin' me now.
Cos I moved on with a heart of lead,
And it ain’t fair to say you still love me now.

What is this I see, love is still in your eyes for me yeah
Did you forget how you hurt me so bad,
I’m still searching for some meanings,
I’m surprised to hear your still harbouring a lot of feelings.
I moved on it was hard but I tried I did,
So I’m surprised to see that you still love me, still love me, now
Oooh! baby! What are you gonna do about this problem,
that you find yourself in.
