I Don't Want to Talk About It
Rod Stewart · Atlantic Crossing
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, ohh my heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the colors of my heart;
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
The star in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, ohh my heart?
my heart, ohh my heart, this old heart.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, ohh my heart?
My heart, ohh my heart.
