Story Behind the Song
I knew it was time to get out of marital counseling when I started to write country songs about it!
Lyrics
ONE HEART IS BREAKING by James E.Nelson
Lyrics
1. They're sitting in a booth near the bar,
Caressing their drinks and watching the floor
Where couples are slow dancing in close embrace
But these two are trapped, being so out of place.
REFRAIN:
Two lives coming together to kindle the fire.
The're both wondering whether they've wasted entire
lives trying to make it work,
lying about the hurt,
dying to get a new start at love.
Instead the pain of the past
has held them both fast
and one heart is breaking
while the other turns cold.
2. His heart's never danced for this girl,
and without experience he doesn't know how
to lead her to true love, to kindle her heart,
and so she resists the invitation to start.
REFRAIN:
3. She once was a rock 'n roll queen
but the band's playing country, its a whole different scene.
Shes afraid to take a chance. to follow his steps.
So they watch and wait in silence and they never get up.
REFRAIN:
4. The make their way to the door.
They can't dance the two step, and don't belong here.
As the mu sic fades her heart begins to break,
while the hope in his soul turns to a cold ache.
