[Verse 1]
He tipped his hat and bowed
Like he knew my name
Tea stains on his cuffs
And a grin like flame
He said, "Don't come too close
I break what I touch"
But I laughed at the warning
I wanted it too much
[Pre-Chorus]
He took my hand
Led me through the door
A room full of shadows
And a floor that swore
"If you follow my heart
You won't come back the same"
[Chorus]
Follow my heart
And lose your way
Follow my heart
And don't you stay
It only leads
To madness and pain
Maybe to death
In the pouring rain
Follow my heart
Follow my heart
[Verse 2]
I wore my white gloves
He wore his cracks
We danced on the edge
Never looking back
Clock hands bent low
Like they heard our sin
And the moon in the window
Wouldn't let us in
[Pre-Chorus]
He kissed my fear
Like a poisoned prayer
Said, "Love me once
If you still dare"
Then he smiled like a knife
In a velvet frame
[Chorus]
Follow my heart
And lose your way
Follow my heart
And don't you stay
It only leads
To madness and pain
Maybe to death
In the pouring rain
Follow my heart
Follow my heart
[Bridge]
If I had turned around
When the teacups cried
I could've kept my pulse
I could've survived
But his broken little kingdom
Pulled me down so sweet
Now I hear my name
In the ballroom beat
[Final Chorus]
Follow my heart
And lose your way
Follow my heart
And don't you stay
It only leads
To madness and pain
Maybe to death
But I came anyway
Follow my heart
Follow my heart
