Desperate Heart Lyrics by Rainbow

Bent Out of Shape

1983

[Verse 1]
Yesterday you were here by my side
Nothing to prove and nothing left to hide
You promised me there would be no goodbye
But now I find another set of lies
Oh, babe, you must be crazy, yeah
How could you be so blind?
Why would you deceive me?
Now you're saying that you're leaving me behind

[Pre-Chorus]
So strong, I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way?
There's nothing can I do

[Chorus]
Desperate heart, think you better hold out
Torn apart, I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

[Verse 2]
Did my best, did the best that I could
It's all been wasted, just misunderstood
You keep on talking, your words are sounding so smooth
Why don't you say it? You just want to cut me loose
Oh, don't say that you love me
Don't want to hear that you tried
Oh, don't tell me that you need me
Don't want to hear none of your alibis

[Pre-Chorus]
So strong, I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way?
There's nothing can I do

[Chorus]
Desperate heart, think you better hold out
Torn apart, I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality
Desperate heart, think you better hold out
Torn apart, I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
So strong, I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way?
Tell me, what can I do?
Nothing I can do

[Chorus]
Desperate heart, think you better hold out
Torn apart, I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality
Desperate heart, think you better hold out
Torn apart, I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

[Outro]
Desperate heart
Desperate heart
Desperate heart
Desperate heart
Desperate heart
Desperate heart
