Tracing Hearts On Tear Stained Sheets
©2006 James Odle, Jr. / Jody Dickey / Mark Ellis

Watched you climb in his car leaving me
your note said, "I'm setting you free
don't need the heartaches or misery."
tried to hold back the tears I cried
while lying there wondering why
Wasn't I even worth a kiss good-bye

Tracing hearts on tear stained sheets
Loving was so sweet
In our big bed last week
Now there are only broken promises
Empty arms without kisses
One day you're going to learn
A cold love will still burn
Faith will lift me up to defeat
Tracing hearts on tear stained sheets

Maybe one day my heart will be free
tonight my thoughts won't let me be
trying to forget how your love strayed
still wishing you were holding me
mem-ries take time to fade away
maybe I'll get over this hurt someday

(repeat chorus)

Feel like my life's slipping down the drain
Tomorrow I'll beat this pain
Someday I may wish you and him my best
Tonight my heart's not ready for that test

(repeat chorus)
