Sarah McLachlan Heartbreak song lyrics

Before the night comes, before the city sleeps

I walk a lonely mile

I know you're out there, I know you're

Waiting for me to make a sign

I know you'd like me to go and crumble

Reveal myself to you

I lost a wing and, grew a shell on the wound

Oh, so soon

And heartbreak, no, you can't catch me

Hot on my heels but I move too fast

I know you think

That I would make good company at last

You always come 'round after your good friend

Love has gone and run a ground

A heart in shambles, oh well it's just what you need

Your purpose found

You turn the lights down, you draw the curtains

You put the candle off

Come over here, sit down, tell me your troubles

We'll sing a sadder song

And heartbreak, no, you can't catch me

Hot on my heels but I move too fast

I know you think

That I would make good company at last

I'm free to wander so get up off of your knees

And find some other fool

Someone to hold you when you've got no one to tease

It won't be me

'Cause heartbreak, no, you can't catch me

Hot on my heels but I move too fast

I know you think

That I would make good company at last
