about

Avoiding My Heart is about what happens when someone who had given up on the idea of love falls for someone for the first time in ages and the mental argument they have between falling in love or denying those feelings.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Your name keeps making my heart break but it is a mistake to leave you out of my life.
'Cause my head keeps thinking about you and everything you do is looping inside my mind.

Pre-chorus:
Don't wanna spend all of my time thinking of what I'd do if I saw you again,
So I keep the thought inside because it is easier to lie and say that...

Chorus:
Avoiding My Heart (Avoiding My Heart)
Is the best thing I've done (The best thing I've done)

Verse 2:
I want to resist temptation and limit frustration when things don't work out for us.
But you are a beauty that I can't resist and I wonder if this is love or lust.

Bridge:
I would like to get to know you and let love begin.
But I know that it would only hurt me if I ever let you in.
I won't let you win.

Outro:
Now I must admit to you that you've won so I'm gonna give you all of my love.
Giving you my heart's the best thing I've done.
I give you my heart.
