I tell myself I'm not looking for love   I tell myself it's the last thing I'm thinking of   I've got no expectations   And I mean just what I say   Then I look into his eyes   Damned if I don't lose my head   And I wonder how I thought   Those things I said      It's the state of the heart,   State of the heart   Ready to risk it all,   Willing to fall   There are ways to keep it safe,   Ways to play it smart   But I've never learned the art   It's just the state of the heart   State of the heart      I ought to know time never stands still   I ought to know but I always believe it will   I've had those perfect moments   Turn to days of silent pain   But I hate to turn away   If there's a chance, he's the one   I admit that I'm no good   At sleep and run      That's the state of the heart,   State of the heart   Ready to risk it all,   Willing to fall   There are ways to keep it safe,   Ways to play it smart   But I've never learned the art   That's just the state of the heart   State of the heart      INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE      But I hate to turn away   If there's a chance, he's the one   I admit that I'm no good   At sleep and run      That's the state of the heart,   The state of the heart   Ready to risk it all,   Willing to fall   There are ways to keep it safe   There are ways to play it smart   But I've never learned the art   That's just the state of the heart   State of the heart      State of the heart   State of the heart   State of the heart      State of the heart   (repeat and fade out)
