Be Still My Beating Heart Lyrics By 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

    pre
    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
    still my beating heart
    still my beating heart
    still my beating heart

    restore my broken dreams
    shattered like a falling glass
    i’m not ready to be broken just yet
    a lesson once learned is so hard to forget
    be still my beating heart
    you must learn to stand your ground

    pre
    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
    and i 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
    still my beating heart
    still my beating heart
    still my beating heart
