Forget Your Heart - Silverstein

Fight these eyes,

They’re drawing you, inside.

Sign the name in marker,

Watch the clouds as they got darker.

Felt it start to slip away.

All the schemes were made and plotted,

All the rules have been forgotten now.

I made it by the skin of my teeth again this time.

I’m waiting,

Still waiting,

To get away and make a change,

Seasons last forever in this phase.

Forget your heart.

It’s weighing you down inside,

As you confide your life to someone else.

Maybe we’re scared to be alone,

We’re not prepared to throw the stones,

And watch them drift out of our control.

I braced my body for the sudden impact,

That was more than I ever thought that it would be.

And when it knocked me over,

I’ve never felt more stiff than sober now.

I’m struggling to get up and run away.

I’ve wasted,

I’ve wasted my life away.

I’ve gotta change,

I’ve gotta burn the book and turn the page.

Forget your heart.

It’s weighing you down inside,

As you confide your life to someone else.

Maybe we’re scared to be alone,

We’re not prepared to throw the stones,

And watch them drift out of our control.

There’s no return,

To what you had when you started,

Before you lost control.

You will never recover.

Fight these eyes,

They’re drawing you inside.

Lie down,

And break down,

You’re dead.

Lie down before you lose control.

Lie down,

And break down,

You’re Dead.

Lie down before you lose control.

Forget your heart.

It’s weighing you down inside,

As you confide your life to someone else.

Maybe we’re scared to be alone,

We’re not prepared to throw the stones,

And watch them drift out of our control.
