Heart vs Mind

Verse 1

In-the shad-ows of the night

I hear your whis-pers call-ing me

A fire burns be-neath my skin

But I-can’t es-cape what I see

We dreamed of light, we built our fate

On prom-is-es you could-n’t keep

Now I’m stand-ing in the dark

Guard-ing wounds that cut too deep

Pre-Chorus

I feel you crawl-ing through my veins

A sha-dow I can-not fight

I’m torn be-tween de-sire and pain

Be-tween the dark and the light

Chorus

My heart is burn-ing, torn in two

Wings of fire, I fall for you

My mind is scream-ing, can’t de-cide

Be-fore the shad-ows steal my light

If you reach in-to my soul

I know I’ll shat-ter, lose con-trol

So I cast you down, let you fade

Be-tween the heart and the choices I made

Verse 2

I car-ried love like a bro-ken cross

While you were feed-ing your pride

I erased my-self in pieces

Just to keep you by my side

You broke my trust, left me cold

Yet still you plead for one more chance

Tell me how for-give-ness grows

When pain has taught me not to dance

Pre-Chorus 2

I want your sha-dow off my skin

I want your voice to fade

But when you cry, I hear the sin

Of all the games you’ve played

Chorus

My heart is burn-ing, torn in two

Wings of fire, I fall for you

My mind is scream-ing, can’t de-cide

Be-fore the shad-ows steal my light

If you reach in-to my soul

I know I’ll shat-ter, lose con-trol

So I cast you down, let you fade

Be-tween the heart and the choices I made

Bridge (slow → crescendo, sing long notes)

You don’t love me, you need me

A sha-dow in the night

I tried to run, I tried to break

But you pull me back in-side

I’m not your shel-ter, I’m not your cure

I’m fall-ing through the flame

Trapped be-tween the heart and mind

And the one who shares my name

Final Chorus (Extended, Epic, Singable)

My heart is burn-ing, torn in two

Wings of fire, I fall for you

My mind is scream-ing, can’t de-cide

Be-fore the shad-ows steal my light

If you touch my bro-ken soul

I know I’ll drown, lose all con-trol

So I cast you down, let you fade

Be-tween the heart and the choices I made

My heart still bleeds, I can’t for-get

The pain you left, the dark-regret

I rise, I fall, I scream your name

But I won’t love you the same

The night consumes, the flames in-crease

I let you go, I find my peace

Be-tween the heart, be-tween the mind

I leave your shadow be-hind
