Matters of the Heart

I lose my head

From time to time

I make a fool of myself

In matters of the heart

We should have been holding each other

Instead we talked

I make a fool of myself

In matters of the heart

But I asked before

Your reply was kind and polite

One wants more

When one's denied

I make a fool of myself

In matters of the heart

I won't call it love

But it feels good to have passion in my life

If there's a battle

I hope my head always defers to my heart

In matters of the heart

I guess I'm crazy to think

I can give you what you don't want

I make a fool of myself

In matters of the heart

Make myself sick

I can't think of anything else

I can't sleep at night

I make a fool of myself

In matters of the heart

I wish that I had the power

To make these feelings stop

I lose all self control

In matters of the heart

I can't believe

It's so hard to find someone

To give affection to

And from whom you can receive

I guess it's just the draw of the cards

In matters of the heart

You caught me off guard

Somehow you reached me

Where I thought I had nothing left inside

I've learned a lesson I've been edified

In matters of the heart

I've spent my nights

Where the sleeping dogs lie

Not by your side

It feels so lonely

Once again I've left to much to chance

In matters of the heart

Here I sit

I'm feeling sorry for myself

It's quite a sight

But I have you to blame

For reminding me

We're all alone in this world

In matters of the heart

I'm already missing you

Although we won't say good-byes

Until tomorrow afternoon

Maybe when and if I see you again

We'll see eye to eye

In matters of the heart

I have no harsh words for you

I have no tears to cry

If the moon were full

I'd be howling inside

It only hurts

In matters of the heart

If today were my birthday

I'd be reborn

As Bronte's bird a bird that could fly

And all accounts would be settled

In matters of the heart
