Brink of Disaster Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm your conscience, listen to me
Don't give in, 'cause it's a conspiracy

I cannot help myself
I just can't stay away from him

[Verse 1]
If you went back it wouldn't last
How come you won't learn from your past mistakes?

My heart keeps saying yes but you say to say no to him
I'm sorry I must go to him
Again

[Chorus]
'Cause my heart has played the game before
My head says nevermore
I should know what is right for me
And I know I've lost before I start
But tell that to my heart
It's so hard for me to think
When my heart is on the brink
Of disaster

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Pardon me, I must interrupt
You admit that he's not your cup of tea

It doesn't matter 'cause when my heart is involved
All my problems can't be solved
I know what's right
[Chorus]
'Cause my heart has played the game before
My head says nevermore
I should know what is right for me
And I know I've lost before I start
But tell that to my heart
It's so hard for me to think
When my heart is on the brink
Of disaster

[Outro]
'Cause my heart has played the game before
My head says nevermore
