That's what happens when you follow your heart, it gets crushed.
When you are at an impasse, people always tell you to follow your heart.
But what if your heart is wrong?
Dead wrong.
And what happens when you make that fatal mistake and you pay dearly for it?
"The heart wants what the heart wants."
But not every want is a need.
Not nearly.
And sometimes we don't know what we want.
But we have been told over and over again what we should want.
In every sappy TV show we hear them say follow your heart, or gut, or stomach
or spleen
I say screw what my heart wants.
I'm going to get what I want.
What the part of my brain that uses reason wants.
Because what my brain wants I can reach
but my heart is reaching out for the skies.
And my arm, it just isn't long enough.
