Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It' s not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I' ll be taken for a fool
It' s not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I' ve been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

I sink like a stone that' s been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a falling glass
I' m not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It' s not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I' ve been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It' s like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
Struggle to avoid any help at hand

I sink like a stone that' s been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
