Seems it came without a warning Now heartache's knocking at your door And this cold familiar stranger makes himself at home once more
So you climb on to the midnight train and buy a one-way ticket From your sorrow and pain There's just no escape when you run out of faith and hope has locked it's door
You say the love is a liar A thief in the house of my dreams Too many promises too much pride Now you carry your anger Like a thorn in your side and there's
No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover the sky's turnin' dark there's no rest No rest for the wounded heart
Seems those city lights they blind you In your search for love's embrace and ain't it funny when it finds you How you turn and run away
You say the love is a liar A thief in the house of my dreams There's just too many memories too much pain Now love lies naked in the pouring rain and there's
No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover the sky's turnin' dark there's no rest No rest for the wounded heart
Now baby I know just how hopeless it seems but it's never too late to try Cause you might end up at the end of your life Find out you've been living in lie
Now the summer's but a memory as the wind blows cold and strong and it's a god forsaken season that last your whole life long
And there's no rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover the sky's turnin' dark There's no rest No rest
