Mind Over Matters of the Heart
Heart's Battle: Unraveling the Emotional Symphony
Lyrics
Waking up with my head in a cloud watching the morning come
Reflecting on waking up with a clouded mind while witnessing the morning.
Another day of the week in a month, in a year, in a life that's come undone
Acknowledging another day in the broader context of time and life's challenges.
I might as well quit trying to get you off my mind
Expressing the futility of trying to forget or remove someone from thoughts.
I might as well quit hoping that this heart will heal in time
Abandoning hope for the heart to heal with the passage of time.
'Cause I can't burn a bridge that I'm still crossing
Unable to sever ties with a situation that is still ongoing.
And I can't lose a past that I'm still lost in
Stuck in a past that has not been resolved or overcome.
I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start
Recognizing the need for a fresh start but finding it challenging to implement.
But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart
Rejecting the notion that mental strength can triumph over matters of the heart.
Everyday there's another attempt to convince myself you're gone
Facing daily struggles to convince oneself that the person is no longer present.
Every night there's a promise I make that tomorrow I'll move on
Making nightly promises to move on emotionally in the coming days.
But there's a voice inside me that calls your name out loud
Feeling an inner voice that loudly calls out the person's name.
A part of me still hopes to see your face in every crowd
Harboring a lingering hope to encounter the person in any gathering.
'Cause I can't burn a bridge that I'm still crossing
Being unable to sever a connection that is still actively influencing the present.
And I can't lose a past that I'm still lost in
Unable to let go of a past that continues to have a hold on the present.
I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start
Intellectually understanding the need for closure but emotionally unable to achieve it.
But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart
Rejecting the idea that mental strength alone can overcome emotional struggles.
I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start
Reiterating the desire for a fresh start but recognizing its impossibility.
But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart
Affirming that the mind cannot dominate or control matters deeply rooted in the heart.
