Matters Of The Heart

© 2007 David Bates


Verse 1:
Suspicious mind approaches,
And the accusations fly.
Your commitment being questioned,
Wishing you to die.
How long will it go on?
Hours, days or more?
Only heartaches served for dinner,
No sleep till way past four.

Chorus:
Happily ever after,
Or, till death do us part.
Why so complicated,
These matters of the heart.
They’re just so complicated,
These matters of the heart.


Verse 2:
With no peace to be found,
Inside home sweet home.
You search for it in solitude,
While the lonely streets you roam.
Fondly recalling a loving bond,
That once seemed so strong.
Trying desperately to put a finger on,
Where it all went wrong.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Walking away should be the answer,
But you have tried that all before.
Trouble is your broken heart,
Won’t follow you out the door.
So, you just keep going back,
More pain to endure.
Hoping to fix a broken love,
Though there seems no cure.

Repeat Chorus
