Lyrics:

Ooh, don't it feel so strange lookin' out the door
Aw, tryin' hard to change but can't let go
Oh, cryin' tears of pain that hurt more and more
Oh, every day is the same as you're walkin' the floor
I'm walkin' the floor over you, I'm walkin' the floor

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold
Oh, to the hand that takes your dreamless soul
Aw, is it long to wait, is it much to pay
Oh, 'cause sometimes it's hard waitin' for the day

You know it's hard, I said it's hard, you know it's true
I said it's hard, you know it's hard, you know it's true

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call, can you count the cost
As you stand alone, do you wonder how
Can you step aside, does it matter now

(Every love that's changed) Every love that's changed, spend it fully
(In the eye of the night, drive a heart ins') in the eye of the night, put a heart insane
It never fails, in spite of it all
So you hide the tears in a Walter's walk
You know it's true, now
You know it's true, now, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah

(Guitar Solo)

I'm walkin' the floor over you, I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost
As you stand alone do you wonder how
Can you step aside, does it matter now
Does it matter now, does it
Now, does it mat', I said it's hard
Woo, yeah, ooh, yeah
Ooh, little baby, don't you go
Every tear that falls, does it matter now
Does it matter now, oh, yeah, oh, yes, oh, yes
