You Must Ask the Heart
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.
Well don't ask me about love
I'm just your mind
I see sometimes oh oh
But now I'm blind
Don't ask me about love
Cuz I'm the wrong guy
I don't know how love happens
And I don't know why
I analyze and that's not bad
But I never find love I always find love's shadow
I'm okay for fantasy,
But for the Truth about love ask him and not me
For this is your mind
And I'm not the one
You must ask the heart.
(Guitar)
(Piano)
This is your mind
And I only borrow
I don't feel happy in the morning
And I don't feel sorrow
And love is a mystery
I'm not at ease right now
Ask him and not me
Cuz this is your mind
And I'm not the one
You must ask the heart.
