No, Pretentious Heart

No, pretentious heart... you judge me unfairly, I've stood by you until now; people don't change quickly! of regret leaves² a mark, it's guilt... and it won't allow tomorrow to offer us the joys we deserve, instead, it tickles a nerve! I love being in love, being spoiled, I don't mind being a puppet of your most extreme fantasy: that's what makes me happy! I stare at you and you melt my doubts, if they were thinner than fog dispersed by the breeze of the evening: nothing is sweeter than your new song! No, pretentious heart... be sincere in each truth that is a radiant sun when always gives off light; hoping it's not a ridiculous pun to smother me with little worth! Find those lips that tell no hurting lies, have they learned that it's foolishness to say silly things in strange settings? Hearts that keep the flame burning have never betrayed their darling!
