Steve Perry/Jonathan Cain)



You've been picked and it's over

What's that chip on your shoulder?

Outside were solid rainbows

Inside is where the heart grows

Picking up the pieces

Something more to believe in



As you search the embers

Think what you've had, remember

Hang on, don't you let go now

You know, with every heartbeat, we love

Nothing comes easy



CHORUS

Hang on, ask the lonely

Hang on, ask the lonely

When you're feeling love's unfair

You just ask the lonely

When you're lost in deep despait

You just ask the lonely



You've got some fascinations

With your high expectations

This love is your obsession

Your heart, your past possessions

Let down your defenses

Won't be up to the one who cares



As you search the embers

Think what you've had, remember

Hang on, don't you let go now

You know, with every heartbeat, we love

Nothing comes easy



CHORUS
