Tough Love

歌詞

There she sits in an empty room The look on her face says it all A bruise appears round a crying eye As the tear drops sadly fall He knocked her over he hit her And told her she's stupid He's high as a kite once again She knows that tough love is needed To save the love of her friend There he sits in a freezing car She's in her bed in the warm The cold light of the morning sky Finds him cramped and looking worn He wanders inside on tiptoes And brews up some coffee He's shaking and sweating again She knows that tough love is needed To save the love of her friend They talk it over but it's not easy Sorting it out She cannot take it when he tells lies And sneaks off out of the room Returning like somebody's lost balloon Tea leaves sit in an empty cup No expression on his face The TV's showing commercials He's back in her arms again No more the drugs and the drinking Her heart can stop sinking Now that he's home once again She knows that tough love is needed To save the love of her friend They talked it over for hours and hours and hours ‘Till everything sounded the same She knows it's tough love that she finds in her heart To dissolve the pain
