the heart plays her cards better than the mind
|
my lonesome heart
she's losing her art
of always remaining apart
& now that she's whole
never does as she's told
i fear she will make me grow old
for loving, has never been easy
not for anybody i've seen
to voluntarily partake, in that pain & heartache
well i tell them that's just not for me
my lonesome heart
she's always trying to trick me
she's always out to deceive
she masks everything in
the most colourful din
& i want nothing more than to be let back in
but she says, love, oh, it's not easy
& you got no aptitude for it i can see
so you may as well just keep on walking
i've taken over here can't you see
so i gave her all my favourite toys
& i trusted her with my favourite boy
now she conducts at her will
every gig on the bill
& me, i've been disappearing
