Kate Shindle the heart is slow to learn

Why do we risk all we have?
Why give into the lure that calls
From everything forbidden?
What attracts us to the night
And crushes 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 passions 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
