What Does My Heart Say

"Follow your heart" they say

"Do what you love and you won't work a day"

"Follow your dreams" they preach

Same old lesson, so easy to teach

But what about those who don't get a choice?

Decisions made for us since we were little boys

Spending our whole lives with a voice inside

Thinking "Maybe I should try"

I don't know, I'm unsure what my future's gonna be

But I know this, I can't stand around and let it pass by me

I am young, still got time

Should I stay or wait and see?

Should I change my life for me?

What does my heart say?

What does my heart say?

Disappointment we avoided, all for love in our parents' eyes

Play along though it feels wrong

And we get into a life of lies

Fires burn, tables turn

And I've come to learn that maybe it's not for me

I wanna change my life, maybe I should try

Maybe I should try

But I don't know, I'm unsure what my future's gonna be

But I know this, I can't stand around and let it pass by me

I am young, still got time

Should I stay or wait and see?

Or should I change my life for me?

What does my heart say?

What does my heart say?

Fear, fear is what holds us down

Leaving the safe and sound

We fear it all

Fear, fear of the disapproving minds

Fear of the things we leave behind

Too scared to rise out of fear that we'll fall 'cause

We fear rejection

We fear depression

We fear regret and mistakes and forget it's okay to be reckless

Life is intense and though we fear failure

Easy ways never made a good tailor

Wanna fly, but I won't leave the floor

Wanna go, but won't open the door

What am I waiting for?

Now I know, now I'm sure

That this future's not for me

But I know this, I can't stand around and let life pass by me

I am young, now's the time

I can't stay here, wait and see

Need to change my life (change my life)

Need to change my life (change my life)

Need to change my life for me

My heart says go

My heart says go

My heart says go (go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

My heart, my heart, my heart says go (go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I'm out (aah!)
