Heartbreak Paralyzed

I start to thinkin' that it's over That your heart is growin' colder That your love is just a passin' phase I try believin', but it never stays I start to thinkin' that I'll leave you be Then it rains in L.A. so I run to the sea But there's your name spelled out across the clouded skies And I'm heartbreak paralyzed Oh, Mother Mercy, it's a shame She left as quickly as she came I'm in the thick of it and I've paid my dues You misfit counterfeit, I know we're through See, there's a house tucked in the Hollywood Hills Where they'll let you spend the night and then make you front the bill With twenty cheers, and I find it's no surprise That I'm heartbreak paralyzed I won't be sleepin' through the pain With all this dreamin' in my brain I'm gettin' lost in all the strangers passin' Vine I'm hauntin' bar-rooms on my one last dime All while I'm wond'rin' if you still love me But I can't get close to you, and you won't get close to me So I'll forget the years and embrace the by-and-by While I'm heartbreak paralyzed
