The Workings Of The Heart

This brilliant mind, these gentle hands
Can build a life by parts
And yet you still don't understand
The workings of the heart.

I tried to make a world for you
Where death would never touch our lives
Have I been a brilliant fool
Seeing only with his eyes?

You couldn't know the consequence
Of all your noble arts
But can't you see
They pale against
The workings of the heart.

You should have left me years ago
You should have trusted me much less
Why did you choose to love me so?
Through your pain and emptiness?

I stayed because I love you
And everything you are
My heart has always followed
It's only guiding star.

How can I live without your simple smile?
How will I love without your touch?
While I was chasing dreams I thought worthwhile
My dream was you
I never knew that I loved you this much!

I'd always knew you'd say these words to me
I saw the love within you from the start
Don't blame yourself for what you cannot be
And promise me
You'll learn to see
The workings of the heart!
No life can last forever
I tried to make a world for you!

No man has (something)
Where death would never make us part!
A dream will perish never!
But I am just a brilliant fool...
A fool cannot know love

Without the workings of the heart!
And my heart will never leave you
I know my love will make you stronger!
How I so want to be with you
Stay at my side a little longer!

Through darkest nights and lost days
Our hearts will love for always
That's something even death cannot undo!

I tried to make a world for you
Where death would be no more
And now this love I never knew
Has given so much more.

So rest your head
And close your eyes
Let your pain and tears depart
I will keep you safe inside
The working of my heart!
