Lyrics

I lose my hair From time to time I make a fool of myself In matters of the heart We should have been holding each other Instead we talked I make a fool a of myself In matters of fhe heart I asked before Your reply was kind and polite One wants more When one is denied I make a fool of myself In matters of the heart I won't call it love But it feels good to have passion in my life When there's a battle I hope my head always defers to my heart In matters of the heart I guess I'm crazy to think I can give you what you don't want I make a fool of myself In matters of the heart I made myself sick I can't think of anything else I can't sleep at night I make a fool of myself In matters of the heart I wish that I had the power To make this feeling stop I lose all self control In matters of the heart I can't believe It's so hard to find someone To give affection And from whom you can receive I guess it's just the draw of the cards In matters of the heart You caught me off guard Somehow you reached me Where I thought I had nothing left inside I've learnt my lesson, I've been edified In matters of the heart I've spent my nights Where the sleeping dogs lie Not by your side It feels so lonely Once again, I've left too much to chance In matters of the heart Here I sit I'm feeling sorry for myself (it's quite a sight) But I have you to thank (for reminding me) We are all alone in this world And in matters of the heart I'm already missing you Although we won't say goodbyes Until tomorrow afternoon Maybe when and if I see you again We'll see eye to eye In matters of the heart I have no hard words for you I have no tears to cry If the moon were full I'd be howling inside It only hurts In matters of the heart If today were my birthday I'd be reborn As Bronte's bird, a bird that could fly And all accounts would be settled In matters of the heart Matters of the heart Matters of the heart Matters of the heart Matters of the heart Matters of fhe heart Matters of fhe heart
