Song Lyrics

Explain It To My Heart

Chicago

I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was 
Now you've make it clear
I'll never be right
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time the darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away

Explain it to my heart 
It's better that we're over now 
Tell me one more time that this it's suppose to be 
Tell me that I'm better off without you 
How it's better to forget about you 
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart 
Now if I try I can see the reasons why 
Why we can't stay together I might convince my mind 
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go 
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you 
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now 
Tell me how I do

Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together 
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me 
Explain it to my heart
