| In my mind I always seemed to have a good reason,
|
| Any reason I could find to keep away from being too open,
|
| Things get broken.
|
| But all that it got me was loneliness,
|
| Now that I found you,
|
| I’m not leavin' nothin' to chance.
|
| I’m playin' it by heart,
|
| I’m through with waiting.
|
| Playing it by heart,
|
| No hesitating.
|
| Gonna trust in what I’m feeling.
|
| You’ve given me something to believe in.
|
| I’m playin' it by heart.
|
| Look at me,
|
| Being loved the way I dreamed of,
|
| Always dreamed of.
|
| Now I’m free to let out all my deepest emotions,
|
| Overflowing.
|
| Playing it safe gets you empty nights,
|
| Your love has made me ready for this risk of it all, oh.
|
| I’m playin' it by heart,
|
| No second guessing.
|
| I’m playin' it by heart,
|
| I learned my lesson.
|
| Gonna trust in what I’m feeling,
|
| You’ve given me something to believe in.
|
| I’m playin' it by heart.
|
| Turn on the radio,
|
| Now the words ring true.
|
| I finally understand what they mean,
|
| 'Cause every song of love is about you, about you.
|
| I’m playin' it by heart,
|
| I’m through with waiting.
|
| I’m playin' it by heart,
|
| No hesitating.
|
| Gonna trust in what I’m feeling,
|
| You’ve given me something to believe in
|
| An honest place to start.
|
| We’re playin' it by heart. |
