Lyrics

[Intro]
[overdriven electric guitar riff with chicken-picking, acoustic guitar strumming, bass and drums enter]

[Verse 1]
[male tenor vocals]
Well, it happened again on Friday
I fell back in her trap
All the feelings I thought were dead
Kept flooding back
I thought I knew what I was doing
But I was just drowning in guilt
Trying to burn down a bridge
Her memory keeps trying to rebuild

[Chorus]
[three-part vocal harmonies, Hammond B3 organ pads]
Knowing when and how to forget
Is what my heart should know how to do best
My mind keeps on telling me no
But my heart [electric guitar fill] tells me yes

[Instrumental Break]
[electric guitar solo with string bends and rapid pentatonic licks]

[Verse 2]
Every time I hear her talking
Talking 'bout her new flame
I know it's the work of a broken heart
She's not the one to blame
But every time I hear her voice
I swear she’s calling for me
I lose myself in her smile
And forget I'm supposed to be free

[Chorus]
[full band, driving rhythm]
Knowing when and how to forget
Is what my heart should know how to do best
My mind keeps on telling me no
But my heart [snare roll] tells me yes

[Bridge]
[organ swells]
Now how do you choose between your heart and your mind?
Tell me how do you decide which one's wrong or right?
I'll take any advice you can give, and a little bit'll help
And if I don't see the light real soon
I'll never get over you

[Chorus]
[vocal harmonies, energetic drum fills]
Knowing when and how to forget
Is what my heart should know how to do best
My mind keeps on telling me no
My heart tells me yes
My heart tells me yes

[Outro]
[electric guitar riffing, final cymbal crash]
