I tell myself I'm not looking for love
|
I tell myself it's the last thing I'm thinking of
|
I've got no expectations
|
And I mean just what I say
|
Then I look into his eyes
|
Damned if I don't lose my head
|
And I wonder how I thought
|
Those things I said
|
|
It's the state of the heart,
|
State of the heart
|
Ready to risk it all,
|
Willing to fall
|
There are ways to keep it safe,
|
Ways to play it smart
|
But I've never learned the art
|
It's just the state of the heart
|
State of the heart
|
|
I ought to know time never stands still
|
I ought to know but I always believe it will
|
I've had those perfect moments
|
Turn to days of silent pain
|
But I hate to turn away
|
If there's a chance, he's the one
|
I admit that I'm no good
|
At sleep and run
|
|
That's the state of the heart,
|
State of the heart
|
Ready to risk it all,
|
Willing to fall
|
There are ways to keep it safe,
|
Ways to play it smart
|
But I've never learned the art
|
That's just the state of the heart
|
State of the heart
|
|
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
|
|
But I hate to turn away
|
If there's a chance, he's the one
|
I admit that I'm no good
|
At sleep and run
|
|
That's the state of the heart,
|
The state of the heart
|
Ready to risk it all,
|
Willing to fall
|
There are ways to keep it safe
|
There are ways to play it smart
|
But I've never learned the art
|
That's just the state of the heart
|
State of the heart
|
|
State of the heart
|
State of the heart
|
State of the heart
|
|
State of the heart
