If I didn't want my heart to live, I would take it out

Because against my better judgment it still beats for you

Beats even harder when you lay your hands against my chest

As you spoke the lies that you love me too.

My brain screams at my heart, begging it not to be a fool

Warns it that it will break

But the heart is stubborn and adamant; it wants what it wants

Very forgiving of your mistakes.

While looking into your eyes, as you weave your web of lies

You seduced my heart with your sweet talk

Your words dripping of ‘sugar’ and ‘honey’

My brain tells my heart not to be fooled by your charm

But it is attracted to your wittiness

It thinks you are funny

Without realizing it, my heart overrides my brain power to think

My heart began making all the decisions, it took full control

It tells my eyes to light up when you smile at me making my heart flutter

As your 'love' invades my soul

It tells my body to shiver when you pull me in real close

And then kiss me so deep and then so soft

My heart fell prey to the things that you made me feel

Before my heart realized that it has lost

My heart eventually gave back my brain the power to think

But my heart still had the ability to feel

To feel the sting of your betrayal

And the unbearable truth that your love wasn't real

My heart blames my brain for thinking that I was your one and only

The most important person in your life

And my brain blames my heart for believing

As you introduce me as your cousin to your wife
