The heart is slow to learn

The heart is slow to learn
The heart is slow to learn
These feelings that I feel
Are foolish but they're real

I'm wise enough to see
This love will never be
And each day's like the last
When living in the past

I know it's mad and you won't return
But then, as I have said
The heart is slow to learn

I'll live alone, as I have loved you
Why is love cruel?
I wish I knew!
Say what you will, it doesn't matter
Until I die, there's only you
Until I die, there's only you

The heart is slow to learn
The heart is slow to learn
You'd think there'd be a way
To shut out yesterday

Perhaps if I just thought
Of all the times we fought
I've tried all that but no
There's just no letting go

I know it's mad and you won't return
But then, as I have said
The heart is slow to learn

Why is love cruel?
I wish I knew!
Say what you will
It doesn't matter
Until I die there's only you
Until I die there's only you

Why is love cruel?
I wish I knew!
Say what you will
It doesn't matter
Until I die there's only you
Until I die there's only you.
