Christopher Hampton - The Heart is Slow to Learn lyrics

MINA Why do we risk all we have Why give into the lure that calls From everything forbidden What attracts us to the night And captures us however hard we fight It seems the heart is slow to learn, no one can tell it what to do It never learns from its mistakes, what twists and turns it puts us through Oh yes, the heart is slow to learn So every lesson is in vain It goes the way it wants to go, regardless of the pain And so, I foolishly go on Ignoring all the signs Dismissing all the doubt inside me For the heart is slow to learn No one can tell it what to do It never learns from its mistakes, that's why it finally breaks And overpowers you Some pa**ions never let you go Some fires never cease to burn It shouldn't come as a surprise That the heart is slow to learn The heart is slow to learn The heart is slow to learn
