Still her heart is breaking, still you will be true
Still her heart is waiting for you to see it's through
Still you won't release her, no matter what you do
Still her heart is breaking, still you will be true

What grows within the river's flow eventually succumbs
The water doesn't even know the tree holds out its arms
Then one day, it's ripped away, the place it held is gone
The river holds no memory, the water just rolls on
The water just rolls on

Still her heart is breaking, still you will be true
Still her heart is waiting for you to see it's through
Still you won't release her, no matter what you do
Still her heart is breaking, still you will be true

She cares for you, you know that's true, mistake this not for love
Your love for her becomes a bird, a vulture, not a dove
Your holding on is holding her, the fire now is cold
Release the heart and you'll be free from cages made of gold
From cages made of gold

Still her heart is breaking, still you will be true
Still her heart is waiting for you to see it's through
Still you won't release her, no matter what you do
Still her heart is breaking, still you will be true
