Forget Your Heart

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 Lay down And break down You're dead Lie down before you lose control Lay down And break down You're dead Lay 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 --- Forget Your Heart - Silverstein
