The Mind and the Heart
The mind and the heart are two complex things
One speaks in logic while the other just sings
But here I sit at the dawn of this day
Wondering which of mine to listen to and obey
My mind says I'm losing her and she won't return
But in my heart for her I strongly yearn
I don't know what to do or even what I should say
Can I go back or do I beg her to stay
These feelings inside they scare me to hell
They ring around through me just like a big bell
They resonate, duplicate and fill me to the top
Till all I can do is grab my head and shout stop
But I think it matters not at the end of the day
I know I must return to her anyway
These feelings I have they are ooh so strong
It seems they will go on for a very very long (time)
And if she should want me to stay away
I think then instead for the rest of my days
I will think of her and of what she has done
She has taught me that she is the only one
I just hope to god that what we had hasn't gone
For I would scour the earth until it was found
And if she might find it in her heart to take me back
I want to be with her and never look back.
