I know you've been hurt   Many a time before   Your heart bleeds rivers   Deep enough to drown      Thought I to be the one   To swim against the current   Swim against the force   The force that pulls one down      But no matter how hard I try   I can't seem to win this fight   I seem to be further behind   Than I was when I met you      I know that you'll choose   Where you want to be   Choose the heart gold   And not the one for free   Choose the heart of the past   Belonging not to me      But no matter how hard I try   I can't seem to win this fight   I seem to be further behind   Than I was when I met you      No matter how hard I try   I can't seem to win this fight   I seem to be further behind   Than I was when I met you
