The Heart Is Slow To Learn

Why do we risk all we have
Why give into the lure that calls from everything forbidden
What attracts us to the night
And captures us however hard we fight.

It seems the heart is slow to learn
No one can tell it what to do
It never learns from its mistakes, what twists and turns it puts us through.

Oh yes the heart is slow to learn
So every lesson is in vain
It goes the way it wants to go, regardless of the pain.

And so, I foolishly go on
Ignoring all the signs
Dismissing all the doubt inside me.

For the heart is slow to learn
No one can tell it what to do
It never learns from its mistakes
That's why it finally breaks and overpowers you.

Some passions never let you go
Some fires never cease to burn
It shouldn't come as a surprise
That the heart is slow to learn.

The heart is slow to learn.
The heart is slow to learn.
