Listen to Your Heart

I was loving so much that it hurt,
And now I'm hurting so much 'cause I loved.
I can't believe it's gone wrong, when the love was so strong--
Has your head completely closed up your heart?
Just a week ago you were telling me
That you'd never felt like this before:
So alive and in love; high as heaven above--
Were you lying to me from the start?

    Or are you frightened of your feelings?
    Are you scared to lose control?
    Do you think I want to change you?
    Do you think the fire will burn cold?
    Are you worried about tomorrow?
    Well, the future isn't ours to see;
    Just listen to your heart, darlin'
    And see if it wants to be with me.

I just can't think that I'd wait forever,
But something tells me that you're worth waiting for.
So take some time to decide--try to make up your mind--
If you love me or you want to let go.
'Cause we played this scene a long time ago,
And we thought it was over and through.
But then love found us again--we couldn't simply be "friends"--
So now there's one thing that I need to know:

    Are you frightened of your feelings?
    Are you scared to lose control?
    Do you think I want to change you?
    Do you think the fire will burn cold?
    Are you worried about tomorrow?
    Well, the future isn't ours to see;
    Just listen to your heart, darlin'
    And see if it wants to be with me.

If you're honest, from the heart, and you find that the love isn't there,
Then as hard as it seems, I'll surrender my dreams--
But darlin' don't you worry none about me.
'Cause if my love can never hold you,
Then my words won't even try.
I know that life is a dance--someday I'll take another chance
To find a love I know that's meant to be.

    But if you're frightened of your feelings,
    If you're scared to lose control,
    If you think I want to change you,
    If you think my love for you will turn cold;
    Well, then you really don't know nothing' about me
    And of love, you don't know nothin' at all--
    I've listened to my heart, darlin':
    Love is worth it, even when it makes you fall.
    Love is worth it, even when it makes you fall.
