I’m begging and pleading with my heart not to love

But it’s too dynamical for you now, it can’t go numb

Nevertheless, this endless attempt to depart

Has only pushed you deeper within the core of my heart

And it cradles the anger, confusion and hurt inside

Drowned by love it’s poured out and tears that I’ve cried

Endless as the world revolves and the stars expand in the sky

This effort to throw you to the wind has only drawn you nigh

My heart, in a desperate cry to understand it all

Running to its refuge, but back to you it crawls

On hands and knees, in sorrow and contrite

Vulnerably resting its wings, instead of dashing in flight

Away from you, it’s every love and pain, every joy and grief

For an instant into your arms, engaged in temporary relief

Where nothing can go wrong while you’re holding me

But when you let go, my heart desperately flees

From the wrath of your eyes, the cool shade of blue

And the cut of your tongue saying, “I don’t feel for you.”

You ask me, what’s wrong. “Nothing“, I reply

But I really want to tell you, “Again, my heart died.”

But I just stare off in distance, making up lies

Hoping my heartbreak, you won’t recognize

Because I love you too much to tell you again

Knowing you’ll tell me that I’m only your friend

But each time you talk of these people you meet

My deepest desire is to fall dead at your feet

Because no, I don’t claim to understand your way

These people I don’t know, taunting me each day

How their one-night stands could stand against me

And my heart’s abounding love and its desperate plea

I’m not your type, and it’s impossible to change

Because everything you want is too big of a range

That even I and my heart can’t run it all down

I can’t change your heart, I can’t turn it around

But if I could, for just an instant, you’d see

My heart’s in your hands and you would love me

All the pain and the grief to me that it’s caused

If I could just make you happy, all that would be lost

But forever my heart will sink deep in its blood

Because I’ll never have a chance to win all your love

I’ll never understand your way, and I won’t claim to

My heart will continuously flee, but I’ll always love you
