Heart Over Mind
Jennifer Rush · Other Songs - Jennifer Rush
While you stand there thinking about it
There's nothing more than I can do
When you're hiding what you feel inside
The closer we get the farther you run
From the voice that speaks from the heart
The higher we climb the harder we fall
So don't leave me hanging, don't leave me hanging on
Look over your shoulder then leave it behind
Put all the heartbreak away,
We'll start all over one step at a time
Don't let the past take my place
It's heart over mind, heart over mind
Time after time you say give up
It's too hard for you to give in
Don't let the past speak louder than love
Don't live yesterday again
Your mind is holding back
what your heart's letting go
I'm fighting to help set you free
I'm wanting you, you're needing me
So don't leave me hanging, don't leave me hanging on
Look over your shoulder then leave it behind
Put all the heartbreak away
We'll start all over one step at a time
Don't let the past take my place
It's heart over mind, heart over mind
Time heals the wounded
And I know you will survive
Let's pick up the pieces
And put them together again, together again...
Look over your shoulder then leave it behind
Put all the heartbreak away
We'll start all over one step at a time
Don't let the past take my place
It's heart over mind, heart over mind
