Shoes Best (1985)
Composed by Gary Klebe

---

The secrets that you keep
They hang right over me
They captivate my life
They were gonna destroy your cover

You can't believe him now
When he brushed you off with a short goodbye
You're upset, I'm a mess
And you won't get better 'til you realize
It's gone

It's a burned out love
Ooh, it's gone
It's a burned out love

The night you called me up
It shook me up a lot
I knew you'd had a fight
Cry away but not on my shoulder

You run in hot pursuit of the dreams you lost
When he disappeared
The story's clear, a hopeless one
And it won't be over 'til you see the fire's gone

It's a burned out love
The fire's gone
It's a burned out love

Trouble follows anyone that tries to run away

The secrets that you keep
They hang right over me
They captivate my life
They were gonna destroy your cover

You can't believe him now
When he brushed you off with a short goodbye
You're a wreck, I'm a mess
And it won't get better 'til you realize it's gone

It's a burned out love
Ooh, it's gone
It's a burned out love
