Who Will Win, Your Heart Or Mind

Drops of moisture from the sky
Cause a sad tear from your eye
Falling like heartache and pain
Leaving the biggest bad stain
In your life that will not quit
Tearing at you bit by bit
Cracking pieces off a heart
Young and stupid, you weren't smart
To let go when things went wrong
Innocently strung along
Pulled in two different directions
Both your heart and mind detecting
Opposite views never knowing
Which way that you should be going
As you struggle with the choice
And competing on which voice
Is giving the best advice
Trying not to be enticed
Your mind is saying he's no good
Getting out, you really should
Before you are in too deep
Hurt by another sleazy creep
But your heart is not convinced
Love is knocking you off balance
Weakness fills you every time
He is looking in your eyes
This debate can never end
Until the choice to defend
Your mind over hearts opinion
Which was very slowly killin'
Your emotions being stable
Now you are stronger and able
To move on smarter and wise
Loosening the gripping ties
That were binding you so tight
Until you finally saw the light
