[Hook: Roxette]
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
A little piece of heaven turns to dark
Listen to your heart
[Verse 1: D-tin]
My ears are listening, but I guess I must be deaf
I don't hear my heart talking because inside I'm truly dead
I've become so numb to this world that the pain no longer hurts
Why would I listen to something that people believe is good when it's really a curse?
My heart tells me to do it when in my mind I know it's wrong
And cuz I listened to my heart that's the reason I'm writing this song
The first time that I listened it almost put me in jail
And the years that followed caused me to feel like I was in Hell
The second time I listened I almost lost my best friend
Cuz my heart told me I loved her when she told me it was pretend
The third time that I listened actually seemed like it would work
Until she decided to leave me and go date some f**in' jerk
If I could live without this thing then I'd just tear it straight out of my chest
And just burn it into ashes then sit and pray for the best
You've hurt more than you've helped, but you're really as good as you seem
The only reason that I got hurt was cuz of my own stupidity...
[Hook: Roxette]
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
A little piece of heaven turns to dark
Listen to your heart
[Verse 2: D-tin]
I listened to it, and the result wasn't very fun
It felt like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun
And I was the first to take a turn, but that turn was for the worse
But I said, "YOLO, fu*k IT, I'MA DO IT AND HAVE NO REMORSE!"
Yeah, and look at where that got me
Sitting here examining my life like I'm performing an autopsy
It was fun and games at first, but it was too much for me to handle
If I could compare it, it would be like lighting a birthday candle
The spark ignites and there's nothing but smiles all around
And before you know it that candle gets thrown onto the ground
My friends and family keep telling me that I still have my life ahead
And that eventually my heart will find the one and be correct
But with the streak I'm on, I'm really starting to doubt
That what they say is true, and you can say that I just whine and pout
But if you take a minute to listen then you'll know what I say is my truth
And that I just felt like sharing my feelings while I'm cooped up inside of this booth
[Hook: Roxette]
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
A little piece of heaven turns to dark
Listen to your heart
[Verse 3: D-tin]
This is what we do as humans, we fall and we get back up
Brush the dirt off of ourselves and act like we don't give a f**
When inside you're crying out, and really you're crying loud
I understand it's tough, but you've gotta look past the clouds
And see the sunlight piercing through, to let you know that it's okay
What happened was yesterday, and yesterday is not today!
Today is a new day, and you need to let your heart guide the way
It'll speak louder for you than any word that you could say
Even when it leads you into a trap, it's taught you something valuable
That no matter what happens, in the end you'll find something magical
And no disrespect to the people that I mentioned in the first verse
Two of y'all are still my best friends and I just let this song take its course
Your new guy isn't a jerk, I don't even know what he's like
But as long as he treats you right then with me it's all alright
You may have found someone for you, and one day I will too
Till then I'ma listen to my heart and see what it tells me to do
[Hook: Roxette]
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
A little piece of heaven turns to dark
Listen to your...
[Hook: Roxette]
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
A little piece of heaven turns to dark
Listen to your heart
