Lyrics
WHATEVER HEART YOU HAVE LEFT © 2005 Patti Stevens
I can't change you
I won't try to anymore
I can't touch you
Without feeling like a whore
It's my own fault I guess
For loving you when your life is a mess
But I still want whatever heart you have left
Sometimes smiling
Then your smile disappears
Without warning
A different man is living here
I get so upset
I say I'm leaving - but I can’t go yet
Cause I still want whatever heart you have left
The first thing i do what i wake up every day
Is gently call your name and see if you're ok
I can't ask you how you slept last night
I’m afraid of what you’ll say
Cause when you feel bad I’m just in your way
Bit by bit
I watch this romance going down
I ask myself
How come I stay around
I must be obsessed
To give so much for the little that I get
But I still want whatever heart you have left
There are days I have regrets
But I still want whatever heart you have left
