Heart don't try so hard this time
Let her go; You know it's done without a doubt.
Don't fall back into that same "I'm all alone" and sit and pine
She's just another thing that we can learn to live without
We were caught up in that fiery passion of the moment
Hoping that love was here to stay
It looked like true romance, well worth taking a chance
Ah, but then the love just slowly slipped away.
repeat intro
I let her changing heart and her dissatisfaction
Manifest itself in my confusion.
I was trying to make some sense of that volatile attraction when her
haughty disposition made me lose my way.
I must admit I spent a fine short moment
fighting to take control, not willing to take that chance.
I thought I couldn't let go. Sentimental fool, you know
A casualty of big romance.
Heart, don't try so hard this time.
There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.
These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know
We got to learn to see when something's finally gone
and just let it go.
Seem like every time you find the real thing
First thing you know, picking yourself up off the floor
Seem like you just get started then you're first-degree downhearted
Next thing you hear is the slamming of the door
Heart, don't try so hard this time.
There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.
These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know
We got to learn to see when something's finally
Say good-bye and keep on walking
Don't try so hard this time.
There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.
These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know
We got to learn to see when something's finally gone
and just let it go.
