JR Forsyth - I Buried My Heart Lyrics

You said that you needed some time alone, so I made you turn around and take me back home
Once you pulled into my yard, I ran as fast as I could from your car
I just needed to find a place to cry a lot. The door left you standing on the other side
I didn't want to lose you, I just didn't know what to say. So like a fool, I pushed you away

I buried my heart that day, closed it up, then put it away
You left me feeling so down, watching teardrops fall to the ground
I can't believe that I let you slip away, and I buried my heart that day
A few years later, I got the news that some other guy was marrying you

I wanted to see you, but didn't know if I should
I knew that I had lost you for good. I still saw you as years passed by
The smile on your face could not hide the tears in your eyes
I didn't want to lose you, I just didn't know what to say. So like a fool, I pushed you away

I buried my heart that day
A few years later, I got the news that some other guy was marrying you
I wanted to see you, but didn't know if I should
I knew that I had lost you for good. I still saw you as years passed by

The smile on your face could not hide the tears in your eyes
I lost you again because I didn't know what to say
And like a fool, I watched you turn and walk away

I buried my heart that day, closed it up, then put it away
It left me feeling so down, watching teardrops fall to the ground
I can't believe that I let you slip away
And I buried my heart that day
I will never forget the day I got the news, what he had done to you
As I reached to hang up the phone, I knew that I had to be alone
I could not hold back the tears in my eyes
I dropped my head and asked the Lord why

I buried my heart that day, closed it up, then put it away
It left me feeling so down, watching teardrops fall to the ground
I can't believe that I let you slip away
And I buried my heart that day

You would have loved the flowers, a lot of people came
Many good words were spoken in your name
I saw you smiling inside of my mind
Yeah, I could see you smiling at me inside of my mind
As I carried you for what would be the final time
I walked you down the aisle the long way
Listening to the sad songs as they played
Who could have ever known that it would end that way
But I buried my heart that day
Closed it up and put it away, away
