Matters of the Heart

I lose my hair
From time to time
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

We should have been holding each other
Instead we talked
I make a fool a of myself
In matters of fhe heart

I asked before
Your reply was kind and polite
One wants more
When one is denied
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

I won't call it love
But it feels good to have passion in my life
When there's a battle I hope my head always defers to my heart
In matters of the heart

I guess I'm crazy to think
I can give you what you don't want
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

I made myself sick
I can't think of anything else
I can't sleep at night
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

I wish that I had the power
To make this feeling stop
I lose all self control
In matters of the heart

I can't believe
It's so hard to find someone
To give affection
And from whom you can receive
I guess it's just the draw of the cards
In matters of the heart

You caught me off guard
Somehow you reached me
Where I thought I had nothing left inside
I've learnt my lesson, I've been edified
In matters of the heart

I've spent my nights
Where the sleeping dogs lie
Not by your side
It feels so lonely
Once again, I've left too much to chance
In matters of the heart

Here I sit
I'm feeling sorry for myself (it's quite a sight)
But I have you to thank (for reminding me)
We are all alone in this world
And in matters of the heart

I'm already missing you
Although we won't say goodbyes
Until tomorrow afternoon
Maybe when and if I see you again
We'll see eye to eye
In matters of the heart

I have no hard words for you
I have no tears to cry
If the moon were full
I'd be howling inside
It only hurts
In matters of the heart

If today were my birthday
I'd be reborn
As Bronte's bird, a bird that could fly
And all accounts would be settled
In matters of the heart

Matters of the heart
Matters of the heart
Matters of the heart
Matters of the heart
Matters of fhe heart
Matters of fhe heart
