Stubborn Heart

It was easy to leave you, it was turning a page

I flew into freedom like a bird from a cage

But it was much harder to get through the night

Where the flesh and the spirit take their gloves off to fight

Leaving you was the easiest part

Now I got to deal with this stubborn heart

You the holy pretender to the throne of my dreams

Me the sensitive one coming loose at the seams

Silence descends as the cameras roll

You hit your mark as you unveil your soul

Leaving you was just the next part

Now I’m second bill to this stubborn heart

They say give up an inch and then they take a mile

But who gave you the right to start in on my smile

You say that he broke you and you’ll never get free

But the last time I saw him he resembled me

I guess he could not free the horse from its cart

You must put the whip to a stubborn heart

Now it was easy to leave you, it was shedding a skin

In this world it’s always the strong ones that win

So raise up your glass, let’s make one final toast

To the ungrateful guest and his generous host

Leaving you was only the start

It’s time to seduce this stubborn heart

It’s time to seduce this stubborn hear
