After so many years tryin' to set it free
   The pain seems to fade but it never leaves
   The memories haunt me and I wish they'd let me be
   I gambled on love and it tore me apart
   Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
   Be still my heart!
  
   I wasn't born wise but I learned this much
   Though you took all I gave it was never enough
   There was a time I'd have died for your soul, your strength, your touch
   But I'll leave it behind, try to make a new start
   Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
   Let the pain fade away
  
   It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream
   You lit fire to my soul and you said you'd never leave
   It's tearin' me up, baby, where have you been?
   Oh, please, oh please, oh please! Please just understand me
   And what this nonsense means. Oh, yeah!
  
   I gave up my dreams to let you inside
   Boy, you sure took my momma;s little boy for a ride
   I'll never know how I coulda ben so blind
  
   Well, I gambled on love and it tore me apart
   Oh! Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
   Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart
   Be still my heart! My broken heart
   Let the pain fade away!
   Just a small town floozy a 'name' a Backwater Lucy,
   Drivin' me down and down and down and down (be still my heart) Oh Yeah!!
   That's what I get for bein' lazy, woman's drivin' me crazy
  
   Drivin' me down and down and down and down and down (be still my heart)
