This lyric is: #413

Looking through my lyrics, I came across this one. Even if it doesn't win, I thank you for helping me remember it.

Sort of rock/country/60s pop, I guess. It'd probably work in many different genres, come to think of it.

Here 'tis:

But Not My Heart


What can I do that I haven’t done?
What can I say that I haven’t said?
I know we’re through, somebody else won,
I can get you out of my head,

Chorus:

But not my heart, it won’t let you go.
But not my heart, just can’t tell it so!
We once had something together,
We finally tore it apart.
I can tell my head, “Forget her!”
But not my heart.


Where can I go that we haven’t been?
Your memory won’t let me hide.
Somehow I know that, once again,
I can find a way to fool my pride,

Chorus

Bridge:

I thought we’d never go our separate ways, but I was wrong.
Now I know the way the music plays a good-bye song;

Final half-chorus:

We once had something together,
We finally tore it apart.
I can tell my head, “Forget her!”
But not my heart.
