Heart don't try so hard this time

Let her go; You know it's done without a doubt.

Don't fall back into that same "I'm all alone" and sit and pine

She's just another thing that we can learn to live without

We were caught up in that fiery passion of the moment

Hoping that love was here to stay

It looked like true romance, well worth taking a chance

Ah, but then the love just slowly slipped away.

repeat intro

I let her changing heart and her dissatisfaction

Manifest itself in my confusion.

I was trying to make some sense of that volatile attraction when her

haughty disposition made me lose my way.

I must admit I spent a fine short moment

fighting to take control, not willing to take that chance.

I thought I couldn't let go. Sentimental fool, you know

A casualty of big romance.

Heart, don't try so hard this time.

There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.

These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know

We got to learn to see when something's finally gone

and just let it go.

Seem like every time you find the real thing

First thing you know, picking yourself up off the floor

Seem like you just get started then you're first-degree downhearted

Next thing you hear is the slamming of the door

Heart, don't try so hard this time.

There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.

These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know

We got to learn to see when something's finally

Say good-bye and keep on walking

Don't try so hard this time.

There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.

These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know

We got to learn to see when something's finally gone

and just let it go.
