I Tell My Heart to Stop Now

But it lifts at the shape and weight of his name

I tell my heart to stop
Like it’s ever listened to me before
I tell it to dream another dream
I don’t want this one anymore

Although, in truth, it doesn’t want me
And if I’ve learned one thing only
I won’t chase one who could leave me
I would rather just be lonely

But my heart lifts …
