Lyrics & Music by:   Ian McLeish
 

1.
I've let you down so often - you say you can't trust me again -
Too scared to be weak, or to soften - your heart just can't take one more pain;
The times that I failed you, I stumbled - lost in my own private hell -
Blinded by failure, I tumbled - and hurt you more than I could tell.

Chorus 1.
Love of my life, what can I do? How can I win back your heart?
This picture I'm seeing of me without you - is something that tears me apart -
How can I win back your heart?

2.
Feeding the fire of frustration - is simpler than swallowing pride -
And taking the steps to forgiveness - is harder than letting it ride;
Now, I'll never say I'm perfection, and I'm bound to hurt you again -
But I'm trying hard, on reflection, to heal you and just be your man.

Chorus 2.
Love of my life, what can I do? How can I win back your heart?
Paint me a picture and colour it blue - it's something that tears me apart -
How can I win back your heart?

(Repeat Chorus 1.)
