They Say

(album: Leuven Letters - 2014)

They say that the heart is made of love and compassion
Romance and affection
Honest feelings
But I've only know the heart to break and turn spiteful
Jealous and resentful
Calculated and cruel
How can I ever trust a heart through and through?

They say that the soul is made of adventure and self-awareness
That it's ageless yet timeless
That it hungers to be fed
But I've only known the soul to trick me into thinking
That I should be constantly searching for the person that I am
How can I be sure the soul truly understands?

They say that the mind is practical and logical
Reasoning and capable
Or seeking out the truth
But I've only known the mind to over-think and criticize
Bring heart and soul to realize that life must go on
Yes, maybe my mind was right all along
