Wait, there's so much I haven't said
I'm so sorry I've been weak
I'm so sorry I've been afraid
See, this foolish heart of mine can't take all the pain
And now, as I look into your eyes
I feel guilty and ashamed
For all the tears I never cried
See, this foolish heart of mine can't take all the pain
I hope you understand it
'Cause every time I realized you were gone
It made me feel so helpless and alone
I needed to get through it
Now your memory is tearing me apart
And I don't know what I'm left with
'Cause this foolish heart of mine, it can't ever win
For years, oh, for years
I felt much anger deep inside
And my vengeance I replaced
The faces that left me behind
Now this foolish heart of mine couldn't take all the pain, all the pain
Oh, I hope you understand it
'Cause every time I realized you were gone
It made me feel so helpless and alone
I needed to get through it
And now your memory is tearing me apart
And I don't know what I'm left with
'Cause this foolish heart of mine, it can't ever win
I really miss you
The good as much as the bad
I really need you and all the love we had
Oh, I remember your love
Yes, I remember your love
Oh father, father I wish you were here
I wish you were here so you can see the man I've grown up to be
Mother, I wish you were here
So you can see the girl I married
Brothers, I wish you were here
So I can have somebody I can call "my brother"
Sister, I wish you were here
So I can see the girl you'd grow up to be
Oh, yes, I remember your love
See, if I'm here crying
If I'm here loving, if I'm here caring
It's for one reason only
'Cause I remember your love
And now I wanna thank you
For this foolish heart of mine
Oh, this foolish heart of mine
This foolish heart of mine
Oh, I wanna thank you
For this foolish heart of mine
