You’ve Heard It Before

Lyrics

Nineteen and running scared You thought her love will pull you through But your dreams of matrimony Never quite came true So you packed up your failures You set off running Tried to leave behind the pain You left your heart and walked on alone With nothing to win, nothing to gain You've heard it before This time it just might find your heart I'll say it again That He can reach you wherever you've been Until my breath is gone Until my breath is gone You were all a man could be To my twelve-year-old eyes A little brother worshipping Yet I never realized Oh, you hid it all so well And lived a lie instead The truth never reached your heart And I guess it was there Just trapped in your head You've heard it before This time it just might find your heart I'll say it again That He can reach you wherever you've been You've heard it before And it breaks His heart to see you alone I'll say it again I will not, I cannot, I won't turn my head Until my breath is gone Until my breath is gone Oh, He knows your disappointments You see He's felt them too And then if you'll stop your running You'll see that He's right there next to you Yeah! Come on! You've heard it before This time it just might find your heart I'll say it again That He can reach you wherever you've been You've heard it before And it breaks His heart to see you alone I'll say it again Oh-whoa... You've heard it before Oh-whoa... I'll say it again Until my breath is gone
