If only the brain had power over the heart
Then maybe I could flee what I feel
Logic tells me to forget
It tells me not to feel
But what does my brain know?
All it does is add on to the pain

If only the brain had power over the heart
Then maybe I could ignore your existence
The irony of life
When the one you love does not reciprocate the feeling

If only the brain had power over the heart
Then maybe my fragile heart would still be intact
I would still be the carefree young girl I once was
Without this burden of love on my shoulders

If only the brain had power over the heart
Then logic would overrule love
And my heart would forget you
Open its doors for another
Sigh, If wishes were horses
Beggars would surely ride
All this would become possible
Unfortunately, the heart wants what the heart wants
And the brain can never have power over the heart
