When The Heart Rules The Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mother protect me, protect me from myself
Lately I can't tell, who really are my friends
Burning the candle, the candle at both ends
Through crowds, across floors
Each night I just pretend
When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past
Watching the actor takes the stage by storm
Stealing the limelight, while we're in the wings
Sometimes the hero must play the underdog
But I don't feel the same
I must have everything
When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past
Seasons will change
You must move on
Follow your dream
When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past
When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past
When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past
When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past
Seasons will change
You must move on
Follow your dream
