She pulls back Unable to handle her fear Her body shakes As she stand her ground "I won't be bullied" "I won't be hurt" Her mind is set Her heart can't change She's tired of fighting ...of losing A single tear Is her only regret As it rolls down her cheek She knows she is weak But her heart can't change She's hurt too long She'd had enough How could she handle it again? She won't... No more lies! No more pain! It's his turn. She's doesn't want to But she knows she must Her heart can't change She can't give up She can't let him win He won't... She's determined to be strong "Don't let him decide for me" Her mind says... "Don't let me change" She looks in his eyes And begins to break "NO!" Her heart screams... "It's not too late!" She stares him down And begins to speak Her voice barely trembles Her heart is firm He stares silently As he listens to her words. She did love him... But she had hurt too much... She couldn't stay with him... Her heart can't change.

Heart vs. Mind
She pulls back Unable to handle her fear Her body shakes As she stand her ground "I won't be bullied" "I won't be hurt" Her mind is set Her heart can't change She's tired of fighting ...of losing A single tear Is her only regret As it rolls down her cheek She knows she is weak But her heart can't change She's hurt too long She'd had enough How could she handle it again? She won't... No more lies! No more pain! It's his turn. She's doesn't want to But she knows she must Her heart can't change She can't give up She can't let him win He won't... She's determined to be strong "Don't let him decide for me" Her mind says... "Don't let me change" She looks in his eyes And begins to break "NO!" Her heart screams... "It's not too late!" She stares him down And begins to speak Her voice barely trembles Her heart is firm He stares silently As he listens to her words. She did love him... But she had hurt too much... She couldn't stay with him... Her heart can't change.
