Oh, turn around Chased you past where the highway ends, now only love gonna save my skin Hey, help me out Your heart can shine like a diamond lake, but get too close and it fades away Half my life, spent for a ghost Half my life, like blood from a stone Your love's a mirage, honey Takes me high, leaves me dry Half my life, just for a taste Half my life I thought you would change Oh no, won't ask no more One more time 'fore I let you go Don't burn my heart out Miles in the desert Sun Dying for a drink of love Oh, lead me to the water So won't you show me how I'm ever gonna fill my cup Honey I ain't asking much Lead me to the water Half my life gone by that's time enough I don't wanna waste what I've got left Guess our love just ends up dust to dust How many years I tried? But don't know why, don't know why Half my life, spent for a ghost Half my life, like blood from a stone Your love's a mirage, honey Takes me high, leaves me dry Half my life, just for a taste Half my life I thought you would change Oh no, won't ask no more So one more time 'fore I let you go But I can't make up the time that's gone Half my life just barely hanging on So you can keep on shining I'll just go and try and make it on my own I can see you shining Filling up with diamonds Still I think I'll try and Make it on my own
