Lee Macdougall - Joanna Lyrics

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
Then 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 paralyzed
And the doctor said there was no cure
I'd never known anything
To hurt that much before

I tried to forget her face
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
As 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
Then 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
