Sting - Be still my beating heart lyrics

Be still my beating heart

It would be better to be cool

It`s not time to be open just yet

A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart

Or I`ll be taken for a fool

It`s not healthy to run at this pace

The blood runs so red to my face

I`ve been to every single book I know

To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

I sink like a stone that`s been thrown in the ocean

My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion

Stop before you start

Be still my beating heart

Restore my broken dreams

Shattered like a falling glass

I`m not ready to be broken just yet

A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart

You must learn to stand your ground

It`s not healthy to run at this pace

The blood runs so red to my face

I`ve been to every single book I know

To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

Stop before you start

Be still my beating heart

Never to be wrong

Never to make promises that break

It`s like singing in the wind

Or writing on the surface of a lake

And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land

Struggle to avoid any help at hand

I sink like a stone that`s been thrown in the ocean

My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion

Stop before you start

Be still my beating heart
