THE JOY AND PAIN OF LOVING

you won't hear the cries of the crying

if you keep talking louder than them

or know the loneliness of the homeless

if you just head home again

or the emptiness of the hungry

if you make sure to get your part

and you'll never feel pain in your life

if you turn off your heart

you won't feel the loss of losing

if you never play the game

or need to get involved with others if you can put it off another

day

or mend the hearts of the broken

if you can just fix the cards

and you'll never feel pain in your life

if you turn off your heart

but you won't know the warmth of a smile

if you keep yourself cold inside

or the beauty of a sunset

if you set your feelings aside

or the joy of a happy ending

if you never let yourself start

and you'll never feel love in your life

if you turn off your heart
