Heartripper (Lyrics)

Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge

Verse 1:

All the signs were in front of me
but I was trapped in the cage of a denial.
How could I be so blind?

How did this happen?
I'll never know.

You don't even know how to create a decent lie.

Prechorus:

I was a fool believing
that putting my heart in your claws was gonna make me happy. No!

Verse 2:

As you fade away from my heart I feel the hole in my chest keeps getting colder.
But you'll never see me cry.

I might still love you.
But I don't need you.

I know this experience will allow me to learn

Prechorus:

how to be a better lover for the one that I'll seek and I'll find in the end...

Chorus:

...and I'll fight it through the haze
and I'll give myself to fate.
and I'll find someone who loves me.
I'll see the light again!

I still know
how to love
so I'll move on
and start again.

SOLO

Bridge:

Broken hearts
all arround.
Lonely souls
in the dark.

Trapped in hate
they don't see.
Must let go
to be free.

Verse 3:

Be alright again will be tough.
I might fall down once or twice.
This burns like hell and
I've gotta break away!

But I will make it.
No doubt about it.

I've got nothing to lose now.
Time for a new begin.

Prechorus:

I've gotta carry on. I'll get back on my feet once again. You'll see!

Chorus:

And I'll fight it through the haze
and I'll give myself to fate.
and I'll find someone who loves me.
I'll see the light again!

I still know
how to love
so I'll move on
and start again yeah!

I've been down on my knees for too long baby!
No! You're a heartripper!
I've gotta resist! I've gotta hold on!

Heartripper!

Heartripper!
