Stubborn Heart

Thirteen years since you took her love away
And I've never once looked back since that day
I just left it all behind and put her out of my mind
Still it seems like she's in my heart to stay

When she dropped the bomb it was the worst I have ever heard
But I didn't show a thing, I didn't say a single word
As she packed and walked away, now it seems like yesterday
But it was '95, January the third

Stubborn heart, it's over can't you see
Stubborn heart, I wish you'd let me be
You've been beating like a drum right from the start
Stubborn heart, why don't you give it up
Stubborn heart, you just don't know when to stop
You keep on tearing me apart
Stubborn heart

There have been others along the way, some sweet and true
Some even better I'd say but they just won't do
For this heart of mine turns deaf, dumb and blind
For every other girl but you

Stubborn heart, it's over can't you see
Stubborn heart, I wish you'd let me be
You've been beating like a drum right from the start
Stubborn heart, why don't you give it up
Stubborn heart, you just don't know when to stop
You keep on tearing me apart
Stubborn heart

No one knows about the tears I hide
I haven't told a living soul 'cause of my pride
I keep my head up high and days do go by
But every night she tears me up inside

Stubborn heart, it's over can't you see
Stubborn heart, I wish you'd let me be
You've been beating like a drum right from the start
Stubborn heart, why don't you give it up
Stubborn heart, you just don't know when to stop
You keep on tearing me apart
Stubborn heart
