Joanna

(Words by Lee MacDougall)

It cut like a knife through the morning light and hurt like I couldn't pretend

She said "Thanks for the memories, but this is where we end"

She said "In all honesty, I hoped it might work but it won't"

"Cos you're not the boy that you used to be, he had a spark and you don't"

I told her I'd change, it could still be the same but she said I was wasting my time

With tears in my eyes I said "Love never dies" but she said that she'd made up her mind

I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else

If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than "I'm sorry for being myself!"

Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you loved me?

Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you'd save me?

Joanna, what's the matter? My heart keeps calling out

My heart keeps calling -

My body was paralysed and the doctor said there was no cure

I'd never known anything to hurt that much before

I tried to forget her face and I tried not to write her this song

I went to my happy place, but I didn't stay long
