Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart
Randy Travis · The Very Best of Randy Travis [Warner Bros./Rhino] [2004]
And in weakess did let your love down
I have prayed that with time and compassion
You'd come -- around.
And I keep waiting for you to forgive me
And you keep saying you can't even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart.
To the hard rock bottom of your heart.
Now, this home we have built is still standing
It's foundation is on solid ground
Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it?
Or burn it down?
And I keep waiting for you to forgive me
And you keep saying you can't even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart.
To the hard rock bottom of your heart.
We can't just block it out
We've got to talk it out
Until our hearts get back in touch
I need your love I miss it
I can't go on like this
It hurts too much.
I keep waiting for you to forgive me
You keep saying you can't even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart.
To the hard rock bottom of your heart.
To the hard rock bottom of your heart.
To the hard rock bottom -- of your heart...
