My Stubborn Heart

I still miss him
and I hate myself for it

I still think about him
and how we used to be

I still love him
sometimes when I sleep

I'm sorry for this, I really am
I try so hard to block him out

he is banned from my mind
but my heart has no boundaries

she simply refuses to let him go
she just won't forget him

but please don't worry
no changes will be made

your position is secure
I won't let you go

you make me happier
than I ever remember being

and I won't give you up
not without a fight

I love you so much
and I always will

but I love him too
and love doesn't fade

you can lock it away
and throw away the key

but it'll break free
for no chains can bind love

I wish I could put it out
never to bother me again

but like red embers from a fire
it will always smolder beneath the surface
