They say time
heals the broken heart
days go by
and the healing starts

They say life, 
life goes on
I came through
but I know they're wrong

I can't sleep
I can't eat
I don't seem to be able
to get back on my feet

I can't run
I can't hide
and it's tearing me up 
inside
oh have mercy baby
love's been rough on me

I had love
but it turned out wrong
I had faith
and when that was gone
well at least,
at least I had hope
but you left me hanging
at the end of my rope

I can't sleep
I can't eat
I don't seem to be able
to get back on my feet

I can't run
I can't hide
and it's tearing me up 
inside
oh mercy baby
love's been rough on me
have mercy mercy baby
love's been rough on me
