Can't Turn My Heart Away
Unyielding Heartache: Art Garfunkel's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I know you've run out of time for a fool like me.
I understand that you don't have time for someone like me.
It's all over now, you can't disguise,
It's all over, and you can't hide the fact.
All these constant good-byes.
Frequent goodbyes have become a pattern.
I can't see, but I close my eyes and I walk away.
I may not see, but I choose to close my eyes and leave.
And try not to hear the words you say,
I attempt to avoid hearing your words.
But I can't seem to turn my heart away.
Despite my efforts, I can't distance my emotions.
There's a feeling out tonight, you're beside me everywhere.
There's a pervasive feeling that you are with me everywhere.
Anyone would say, "It's over," but I just don't seem to care,
While others might declare it's over, I remain indifferent.
'Cause I could never turn my heart away,
I cannot bring myself to turn away emotionally.
I just can't seem to turn my heart away.
Despite the circumstances, my heart refuses to detach.
I can hear the music play, well I'm the only one who knows.
I hear the music playing, and I'm the only one who understands.
Maybe I'm a fool for listenin', but it takes me where it goes,
Perhaps I'm foolish for listening, but it takes me where it goes.
'Cause I can never turn my heart away,
My heart is unwavering, and I can't turn it away.
I just can't seem to turn my heart away.
Despite efforts, my emotions persist and won't be dismissed.
Something inside me needs to know
Internally, I feel a need to understand if I can love again.
I can live to love again.
There's a possibility for a renewed capacity to love.
What is now has always been.
What exists now has always been the case.
I need to let you know.
I feel the necessity to communicate this to you.
But I just can't turn away, and I can't stop loving you.
Despite the challenges, I can't turn away, and my love persists.
I can feel the end is near, but I can't admit it's true,
Although I sense the end, I can't admit its reality.
'Cause I could never turn my heart away,
My emotional attachment remains despite the circumstances.
I just can't seem to turn my heart away.
Efforts to detach emotionally are unsuccessful.
You go I'll stay,
You may leave, but I choose to stay emotionally connected.
'Cause I just can't seem to turn my heart away.
My heart refuses to be turned away.
