Unchain My Heart

My head confirms what my heart denies

I'm a prisoner of all your lies

And though it may put me in my grave

I'll stand forever your dying slave

Of this Siren's call there's no defense

Against all logic and common sense

But until the end my heart you'll keep

And bury it in the briny deep

No matter how many tears I cried

A hopeless fool on the day I died

And on my gravestone the caption read

He followed his heart instead of head
