My Heart Says So
I wrote a song for a girl I once knew
I have known more than one
I put my words where I once were
Will she know they are of her?
I took my clothes, took the stairs, took the road
I felt my senses return
I knew that I still had miles left to walk
Bridges to cross and to burn
And though I have to leave you here
there’s nothing wrong with you, my dear
I need to find the things I fear
I need to leave and disappear
I will leave you tears to cry
but my eyes will stay clear and dry
There will be no “you and I”
’cause I just love the word goodbye
I, there’s so much I don’t know
I, I’m not yes – I am no
I, I’ve got to go
I, ’cause my heart says so
I met a girl on the road I took
When will I ever learn?
I let her claim what she thought would be hers
I felt the numbness return
I lie awake while she sleeps by my side
Oh, how I suffer and yearn
I need to move, need my clothes, need the road
Set it ablaze and let it burn
And though I have to leave you here
there’s nothing wrong with you, my dear
I need to find the things I fear
I need to leave and disappear
I will leave you tears to cry
but my eyes will stay clear and dry
There will be no “you and I”
’cause I just love the word goodbye
I, there’s so much I don’t know
I, I’m not yes – I am no
I, I’ve got to go
I, ’cause my heart says so
