Hook
My head says let go, my heart says hold on,
One tells me it’s over, one says love ain’t gone.
I’m caught in the middle of a war inside my chest,
Tryna find some peace, but these thoughts won’t rest.
My head sees the scars, my heart sees the light,
One keeps me awake while the other gives me life.
Tell me which one do I trust when everything falls apart?
When my head keeps breaking what my heart keeps trying to start.

Verse 1
My head says, “Remember all the nights you cried alone,
All the promises they made that turned to dial tones.
Remember every red flag you painted gold,
Every time you gave your all and got left in the cold.”
But my heart keeps bringing up the memories I miss,
The late-night drives, the forehead kisses and the bliss.
It tells me people change, that pain don’t last forever,
That maybe broken pieces still fit back together.
My head builds walls with every lesson that I learn,
My heart lights candles where the bridges used to burn.
And I’m exhausted from choosing who gets control,
’Cause one protects my peace while the other saves my soul.

Verse 2
My head says, “Stop giving chances you don’t receive,
People only show you what they want you to believe.”
It counts every goodbye, every lie, every mistake,
Keeps a list of every promise somebody chose to break.
But my heart don’t care about statistics or the facts,
It just wants the feeling of having somebody back.
It says, “Love takes courage, don’t let fear decide,
You can’t heal old wounds if you’re always in hiding.”
So I sit in silence with tears I never show,
Wondering why the loudest battles never leave home.
‘Cause nobody sees the war behind these tired eyes,
The way I smile outside while I’m breaking deep inside.

Bridge
Maybe my head ain’t the villain, maybe it’s just scared,
And maybe my heart’s still hopeful ‘cause it’s always cared.
Maybe healing means listening to both sides speak,
Finding strength in the moments that make me feel weak.
‘Cause I don’t need my heart to lose,
And I don’t need my head to win.
I just need them both to finally let me breathe again.

Final Hook
My head says let go, my heart says hold on,
Maybe they’re both right, maybe I’m still moving on.
Learning how to carry all the pieces of my past,
Knowing pain can fade and good things can still last.
My head sees the scars, my heart sees the light,
And somewhere in between, I’m learning how to fight.
No matter how loud the voices get inside the dark,
I’ll keep searching for the place where my head meets my heart.
