Текст песни The Fray – Heartless

In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
 
How could you be so cold?
As the winter wind when it breeze, yo
Just remember that you talking to me though
You need to watch the way you talking to me though
 
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Yo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Yo, I did some things but that's the old me
 
Now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, I got homies
In the end it's still so lonely
 
In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
 
How could be so Dr. Evil?
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't going speak so
Why we up 3 a.m. on the phone?
 
Why does she be so mad at me for?
Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
 
You run and tell your friends you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months and you gonna see
You'll never find nobody better than me
 
In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
 
Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
 
So I got something new to see
You just gon' keep hating me
And we just gonna be enemies
 
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
So I'ma take off tonight into the night
 
Hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so…?
 
In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
