'this Heart Don'T Beat For You Anymore'

It might look convincing But I just don’t feel it anymore When people talk about it I don’t feel it anymore The rhythmic blows don’t hit home The sounds are all spent Just hollow, the refrain It doesn’t mean a thing I don’t think it ever did The beating of your heart Is not a conduit anymore It’s like walking a labyrinth Wall to wall On a path to nowhere 'Cause this heart don’t beat, This heart don’t beat, This heart don’t beat for you anymore You don’t need to feel it ‘Cause it’s written all o’er my face It’s not like I planned it It’s just the way things ended Hearts can’t be dictated I’m sorry if this hurts But I can’t play this role no more I’m sorry if I’m breaking your heart The beating of your heart Is not a conduit anymore It’s like walking a labyrinth From wall to wall On a path to nowhere ‘Cause this heart don’t beat, This heart don’t beat, This heart don’t beat for you anymore Saying I don’t feel it Boils down to conviction The moving signs are everywhere It’s clear like daylight My heart refuses to beat for you The beating of your heart Is not a conduit anymore It’s like walking a labyrinth From wall to wall On a path to nowhere ‘Cause this heart don’t beat, This heart don’t beat, This heart don’t beat for you anymore *THIS TRAIN DON’T STOP THERE ANYMORE BY ELTON JOHN* Contest: Dear John Placed: 7th © All Rights Reserved

Wow! I haven't heard this song in a really long time. This is such a great rendition of the original. Actually, I like your lyrics better - (sorry, Bernie Taupin). Congratulations on your BIG WIN in John Heck's contest. Best wishes, Kory

Im a big Beatle fan as you which means Elton John would follow not that far behind.. Your words and feelings make up beautiful lyrics to it..Sir Elton would be proud as am I...RE. "Helped You Fly" you have read into to it perfectly..sometimes the people you help don't see it the same, but I won't change who I am.. then it wouldn't be me....with Love always Michael

Although I haven't heard this Elton John tune, I can relate to the feelings you express so eloquently, Wilma. When feelings of love cease to exist, it is usually apparent to one who still cherishes you. But in cases where it's not perceived, it's best to set them free with an honest expression of your emotions. Excellent poem that should do well in John's contest, my friend. Always wishing you success! Love, Carolyn

I'm not familiar with this Elton John song, but you have chosen some good words here to tell a descriptive poetic story.

I have not read or heart this of Elton John. But the way you have written yours gives an inkling of it, Wilma. Good luck in the contest.
