Be Still My Beating Heart - Sting

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

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
