Be still

Be still, my beatin' heart, 
it would be better to be cool. 

It's not time to be open just yet. 
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget. 

Be still, my beatin' heart, 
I'll be taken for a fool. 

It's not healthy to run at this pace, 
the blood runs so red to my face. 

I've been to ev'ry single book I know 
to soothe the thoughts that plague me so. 

Sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean, 
my logic has drowned in a sea of emotion. 

Stop before you start, 
be still, my beating heart. 

Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 

Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 

Restore my broken dreams 
shattered like a fallin' glass, 

not ready to be broken just yet. 
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget. 
Be still, my beatin' heart, 
you must learn to stand your ground. 

It's not healthy to run at this pace, 
the blood runs so red to my face. 

I've been to ev'ry single book I know 
to soothe the thoughts that plague me so. 
Stop before you start, 
be still, my beating heart. 

Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 

Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 

Never to be wrong, 
never to make promises that break. 

It's like singing in the wind 
or writing on the surface of the lake. 

And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land, 
struggle to avoid any helping hand. 

Sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean, 
my logic has drowned in a sea of emotion. 

Stop before you start, 
be still, my beating heart. 

Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 

Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 

Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart. 
Be still, my beatin' heart.
