FOOLISH HEART

FOOLISH HEART
V1
My heart lives right on my sleeve
Giving away pieces like they're freebies
No matter the cost it says "It's on me"
Mm hmmm...
It sees love through a rose tinted glass
So even the tainted get a hall pass
It's not immune to pain still as bold as brass
Mm hmmm...
It doesn't really think much, or weigh the odds
Gets taken in by smooth talking frauds
It doesn't quit, hold back, or play it cool
My heart's a brave little fool...
CHORUS
Someone please stop my foolish heart (stop stop stop)
There it goes again racing past (oh no no)
Knowing it's not going to last (yeah yeah yeah)
Yet it keeps trying so hard
Once again it looks black and blue
Either that or it's torn in two
Clearly the lessons aren't getting through
That what it sees is almost never the truth
V2
These years have given scars but not wisdom
Guess there's no rationality in Love's Kingdom
And so my heart becomes the textbook victim
Mm hmmm...
It really doesn't know how to start out small
So the harder it loves, the harder it falls
Now being whole is something past recall
Mm hmmm...
It doesn't expect gifts, or big gestures
Just wants to be chosen over and over
It gets tired, but still remains hopeful
My heart's a brave little fool
CHORUS
Someone please stop my foolish heart (stop stop stop)
There it goes again racing past (oh no no)
Knowing it's not going to last (yeah yeah yeah)
Yet it keeps trying so hard
Once again it looks black and blue
Either that or it's torn in two
Clearly the lessons aren't getting through
That what it sees is almost never the truth
Yeah what you see ain't always the truth
