where did you go last night?
where do we stand?
can’t say that this is what we planned
you walked away
you closed your eyes and shut the door
hoping that I’d do the same
but tell my heart
tell my heart...
tell it not to love you
I might fall apart sometimes
but I still stand with grace
even when you say... I’m second place
you’ve hid away
denying all those special things
you were so careful to say
So tell my heart
tell my heart...
tell it not to love you!
I always said I’d understand and I do
I don’t know why you have to be so cruel
if you want to erase me that’s your choice
but you can’t tell my heart...
you can’t tell my heart.
I can’t say I’m right or wrong
but I stand by my word
my heart knows what I deserve
people might say
that I’m crazy but my heart decides for itself
So tell my heart
tell it to my heart...
tell it to slide away! woahhh...
I always said I’d understand and I do
I don’t know why you have to be so cruel
if you want to erase me that’s your choice
my heart is stronger than your voice
I’m still wide open to the pain
even if it hurts and hurts again
if you want to erase me that’s your choice
but you can’t tell my heart...
you can’t tell my heart.
