Heal
Westlife · X2 [2006]
Kian:
Even though you're near me
I need you far away
To be an ocean
To build another way
Bryan:
I'll be broken
And I know it
But I just can't seem to find
Another way
All:
Though you want to
Though you try to
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me
Bryan:
I need some distance
To find another road
It's not so easy
Sorrow, such a heavy load
Nicky:
I'll be broken
And I show it
But I'm gonna have to live
Without you here
All:
Though you want to
Though you try to
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me
Shane:
Poets say
As time's a case
A broken souls were mend
But you would come around again
So my sorrow's gonna end
Mark:
But it's not you...
Heal me...
But it's not you...
Heal me...
All (Shane):
Though you want to (though you want to)
Though you try to (thought you try to)
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me
Though you want to (though you want to)
Though you try to (thought you try to)
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me
Heal me
