Chapman, Tracy - The Love That You Had Lyrics






The love that you had
In your heart is gone
Any touch of sincerity
Any trace of compassion

What hardened your heart?
What turned it to stone?
What made you forget?
You were in love with someone

Your hands don't reach out
Your voice doesn't call me
I know you've stopped listening
Your eyes look straight through me

If nights are like this
I'd rather be alone
Who said you could forget
You were in love with someone?

Tell me what hardened your heart
Tell me what turned it to stone
Tell me what made you forget
You were in love with someone

Was I wrong to forgive
Your indiscretions?
Should I have been more hysterical
Less understanding?

If you're looking for a villain
Go on assume the role
But don't say that it's my fault
That you're not in love with someone

Tell me what hardened your heart
Tell me what turned it to stone
Tell me what made you forget
You were in love with someone

Tell me there's someone in your life
I'll fight to keep your for my own
Tell me because I really want to know
Why you can't be in love with someone

  45. K.... G....

    yes, we all forget our first love Jesus, for money , popularity, worship ourselves Rebe that God. turn Tracy worshipped God as the beginning, you Just to sing for Jesus. now where is everything that this world offers you, one day the devil will take it away from you.

    K.... G....

    god will take it away from her, whom she betrays with the devil now every day of her life. she herself sang: I am standing at the crossroads of the hell. she ought to know where her way will lead her very soon I feel so sorry for her

    K.... G....

    +David Yarden Immanuel In case you haven't noticed, everyone here loves, LOVES, Tracy Chapman. While I am certain that she is very relieved to know that you feel sorry for her, please go somewhere else if you want to sit around deciding who is going to hell. If you have a problem with her or her music, you don't have no chains on- go to another channel that plays music you do like. I cant imagine wasting my time, listening to stuff I hate just so I can 'not like' it. Go away.

    K.... G....

    Only your words contain and embrace hate before you write words that are full of hatred you should at least try to understand what you are thinking and writing about you should have been able to comprehend how much i like her music and poetry and i do not hate her at all also you ought to be able (or at least i want to believe that) to understand that the significations of the words did not aim to make feel relieved but only to think about all the words she wrote herself a long time ago which would be a wise move for you too since hatred and disregard are the reasons for everything tracy (seemingly) sings and writes against already since her beginnings

    K.... G....

    Elizabeth Sanford lack of understanding of the lyric which the simple word " love"

  46. S.... M....

    first time hearing this song and i'm in love with it.

    S.... M....

    YEA I never heard this before either

    S.... M....

    The love that you had
    In your heart is gone
    Any touch of sincerity
    Any trace of compassion

    What hardened your heart?
    What turned it to stone?
    What made you forget?
    You were in love with someone

    Your hands don't reach out
    Your voice doesn't call me
    I know you've stopped listening
    Your eyes look straight through me

    If nights are like this
    I'd rather be alone
    Who said you could forget
    You were in love with someone?

    Tell me what hardened your heart
    Tell me what turned it to stone
    Tell me what made you forget
    You were in love with someone

    Was I wrong to forgive
    Your indiscretions?
    Should I have been more hysterical
    Less understanding?

    If you're looking for a villain
    Go on assume the role
    But don't say that it's my fault
    That you're not in love with someone

    Tell me what hardened your heart
    Tell me what turned it to stone
    Tell me what made you forget
    You were in love with someone

    Tell me there's someone in your life
    I'll fight to keep your for my own
    Tell me because I really want to know
    Why you can't be in love with someone

  60. C.... T....

    Tracy Chapman is a true, honest, and amazing talent.

  61. S.... K....

    One of my favorite song.

  62. k.... m....

    tracy champman is one of my favourute musician how i wish to meet her in person one day
    i love her. they dont make music like hers now days that love that you had i play the song everyday @ work, where ever you are tracy know that i love your music and follow your music i have most of you CDs some we dont get in south africa

  63. M.... B....

    This song describes perfectly how I feel right now. I get that it's over, I don't get how one day she just didn't love me any more.

  64. c.... p....

    i love you Tracy

  65. H.... N....

    she sounds like a man... sorrt but thats the true to me :) and somehow thats why i love her songs, she can sing them with feelings!!!

    H.... N....

    Habiba N. hmmmmmm...I had no idea til now that women can't sing with feelings!

    H.... N....

    We need to meet up Tracy you and me Toni 1661 darley aveune I love your music yes I do hope you surprise me one day I would love to meet you I'm a song writter to just like you

  66. m.... I....

    When such as this, truth is spoken, I am listening to the voice of God.

  67. M.... H....

    one of the best

  68. i.... ....

    Tracy, your so divine. Your songs give me goosebumps, make me wanna cry and change the whole world, make everything become better, make people stop making wars, make politicians take care of what is really important instead of their own pockets, make peace, make love, forgive and forget all my traumas.

  69. M.... ....

    Tracy is amazing, she sings with her soul and heart, she is a treasure and a real treat for the ears

  70. M.... ....

    It may sound weird, but I would love to hear her singing, and David Gilmour playing the guitar to her song...

    M.... ....

    MartinaBC19 well that would be a very wierd combination. . but i would too love to see that 😂

    M.... ....

    There is a real nice version of her and BB King doing "The thrill is gone" BUT you are right about Gilmore. I seen PF 3 times and her bluesy voice and Gilmores haunting guitar would be a fine pairing.

  71. B.... D....

    when i'm down or upset, her softening voice alway's brings me back down to earth♥

  72. r.... ....

    Tracy Chapman. One of the few artists who can bring me to tears.
    The good kind though... the cleansing kind.

    And I'm an 18 year old boy?! Geez.

  77. P.... ....

    This is such good music. Why doesn't it have a video. If I had one wish is to see her perfom this song to me face to face~~~~~I love tracy so much I wanna see her before I die. I wanna touch her before I live this earth. I wish she could perform in St. Lucia a small Caribbean place.

  78. P.... ....

    You were in love with someone

    Tell me what hardened your heart
    Tell me what turned it to stone
    Tell me what made you forget
    You were in love with someone

    Was I wrong to forgive
    Your indiscretions
    Should I have been more hysterical
    Less understanding

  90. k.... ....

    If you're looking for a villain
    Go on assume the role
