My Beating Heart

Oh don't do this to me again
Don't open the door
Just this once let him stand alone

Too many times you've welcomed them with out stretched arms
Too many times you've let them set us on fire
Please don't let me fall in love again

He smiles sweetly and you melt at his touch
Pull yourself together, don't replicate history
Some say we've got to be careful
Some say we've got to love like we're dyin
But you've lost all direction
And I don't want to die

Oh beating heart, don't let me fall in love again
Don't let me feel that rush of joy
Just to drown in fear-filled tears
Dry me with simple facts of reality

You think you're smart
Think you've sorted this puzzle complete
But dear you haven't a clue
And this broken record sounds just like you

You've gone and jumped off the deep end
You're hoping I'll give you my hand and pull you back to reason
You've gone and fallen in love again
And I'll be waiting here, just as before
Ready to sweep your broken pieces from the floor
