The Heart Never Learns
Gloria Estefan · Triple Feature [2009]
Only love can really break your heart
But we must feel the pain before the pleasure
Only then can we tell them apart
We are never too afraid of taking chances
Searching in the dark with no concerns
But it's always the same with all romances
It's the heart that never seems to learn
Thinking that it's finally my turn
Like a fool believing every word
You tell me that it's over but that's not what I heard
'Cause my heart just never seems to learn
Many times I've wished that love had never found me
After knowing all the pain it brings
Always hoping to feel you arms around me
Without fear of losing everything
It's the heart that will awaken all the senses
And the senses light up the soul
But we hide what we feel with more pretenses
Than the pride that comes before the fall
Thinking that it's finally my turn
Like a fool believing every word
You tell me that it's over but that's not what I heard
'Cause my heart just never seems to learn
How can I ever find what I've always wanted
With a heart that never seems to learn
Never seems to learn
