I was walking down the street
Dragging my feet
Feeling so alone in this summer heat
'Cause without you, baby, just a matter of time
Before I lose control, before I lose my mind
Remember when we walked hand in hand?
The stars in the sky were shining then
You told me you would take me to the promised land
You told me that forever I would be your man
I guess some things, baby, aren't meant to be
We found the love, but we lost the key
As I hold you in my arms, it wasn't true
When you told me, baby, "I love you"
I've cried a thousand times
And now my heart is blind
Love is the reason
I've read between the lines
And now I realize
Love is the reason
Girl, I'm a man with a broken heart
Just give me a chance to make another start
When I look at the people that are so in love
It's you and me that I'm dreaming of
Another lonely night I called you on the phone
The message that you left me said you're not at home
I left you a kiss on your answering machine
Just to let you know just what I mean
Remember when you used to whisper in my ear
That you loved me so? Your eyes were full of tears
Touching you was like a dream come true
Lying in my bed with only you
I've cried a thousand times
And now my heart is blind
Love is the reason
I've read between the lines
And now I realize
Love is the reason
I've cried a thousand times
And now my heart is blind
Love is the reason
(Without you, baby, just a matter of time)
(Before I lose control, before I lose my mind)
I've read between the lines
And now I realize
Love is the reason
(You told me you would take me to the promised land)
(You told me that forever I would be your man)
I've cried a thousand times
And now my heart is blind
Love is the reason
(I hold you in my arms, it wasn't true)
(When you told me, baby, "I love you")
I've read between the lines
And now I realize
Love is the reason
(Without you, baby, just a matter of time)
(Before I lose control, before I lose my mind)
I've cried a thousand times
And now my heart is blind
Love is the reason
(You told me you would take me to the promised land)
(You told me that forever I would be your man)
I've read between the lines
