The Art of Pushing Me Away

Throw out your practicality 

Throw out your excuses 

Throw out all your reasons 

 

Now reflect on your soul 

Tell me, what do you desire? 

Follow your heart, not your fear 

 

Bury the chaos of your mind 

Bury all your shame 

Bury your brave mask 

 

Now reflect on your soul 

Tell me, what do you desire? 

Follow your heart, not your fear 

 

Give up on pushing me away 

Give up on hiding your emotions 

Give up on suppressing your feelings 

 

Now reflect on your soul 

Tell me, what do you desire? 

Follow your heart, not your fear

Interesting use of repetition. Almost like a nursery rhyme

That's the way to tell 'em, Michele. In affairs of the heart, speaking from the heart is mandatory. ~ Gershon
