They say follow your heart
But how do I do that
How do I fucking do that if you keep running with it
It beats irregularly around you
So much so, I trust it no more
Jumps when your name is mentioned
It’s all so confusing and hard to follow

How do I follow my heart
When it sinks at a sight of your frown
And it gets so stupid seeing your smile
I’d like a little consistency
Follow something that can be relied upon
But this heart of mine?
Will forever betray me, taking your side

Feels like, this heart is for hire
I have been holding it temporarily
Apparently, you are the rightful owner
Do I have any other choice?
Than ask you take good care of it
For even if you drag it in fire
Let it ripped with thunderous storms
This stupid heart will remain faithful
It knows no other home but you
