What Do I Tell My Heart

I was fallen down and hurt
When you came my way
You picked me up and healed my wounds
And made everything O.K.
When I was cautious in the beginning
You waited patiently
Understanding that I needed time
It was easy convincing my mind 
But what do I tell my heart

I wanted to love you the way you do me
But my heart won't fall that fast
Being burned in the past has made me learn
To hold back how I feel
But you wouldn't give up
Knowing someday I would give in to my desire
Persistent and caring and always there
You slowly captured me
But the question still remained
What do I tell my heart

Then the time arrived and I gave myself to you
All of myself
My mind, body, heart and soul
And had no regrets at all
Happiness was all I felt
And all I cared about was you
You shared things with me that no one dared before
And I felt that we had bonded
I want to be with you forever more
You showed me a life I have wanted for so long
Kissed that take my breath away
And arms that hold me tight
Eyes that burn with love
And a voice that calms my fright
Now that I have you, I have all I ever wanted
So this time
What do I tell my heart

We were perfect together
But all good things come to an end
My hopes and dreams all shattered
When she called you up again
Why can't she see the pain she gives you
And now the pain for me
Promising we'd be together
And last a real long time
I went against my instincts
And trusted every word
This is the price I pay for letting myself feel too much
What am I supposed to do while you are confused
While you spend time with her
I can't go on like this
Being kept in the dard
I need to her something
So you tell me 
What do I tell my heart
