It cut like a knife through the morning light and hurt like I couldn't pretend
She said Thanks for the memories, but this is where we end
She said In all honesty, I hoped it might work but it won't
Cos you're not the boy that you used to be, he had a spark and you don't
I told her I'd change, it could still be the same but she said I was wasting my time
With tears in my eyes I said Love never dies but she said that she'd made up her mind
I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else
If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than I'm sorry for being myself
Joanna, what's the matter I thought you loved me
Joanna, what's the matter I thought you'd save me
Joanna, what's the matter My heart keeps calling out
My heart keeps calling
My body was paralysed and the doctor said there was no cure
I'd never known anything to hurt that much before
I tried to forget her face and I tried not to write her this song
I went to my happy place, but I didn't stay long
I called out her name to the stars and the rain, I banged and I banged on her door
She said Look it's over, go home and get sober I don't need your grief anymore
I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else
If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than I'm sorry for being myself
Joanna, what's the matter I thought you loved me
Joanna, what's the matter I thought you'd save me
Joanna, what's the matter My heart keeps calling out
My heart keeps calling
