lyrics

my emotional ambition's a curse
lacking reason, there can be nothing worse
they say i'm roped up in a gentle denial
i'll forget bout that when i see her smile

my heart's the only prize that won't find you to find you
and it won't fall right out of the sky
but if this is no fling, no superficial thing could
pull it away from your eyes

i'm not simple but i'm hers to be won
scoreboard's in her favor cuz the night is still young
all these intricate thematics but she don't know what's next
and i don't either but she has that effect

she'll be my bodyguard as you may have thought
and her bangs will flicker whenever she nods
i'll let her in when she knocks
rarely do fancies vex me like she does
but she'll know

my heart's the only prize that won't find you to find you
and it won't fall right out of the sky
but it's happened before, and nothing could mean more
than to see the truth in your eyes

everything that you have, i could be the one to take it all back
everything that's weighing you down, i could be there
to vanquish your doubts, vanquish your doubts

the game is set, are we a match?
my heart's a prize, but there's a catch
look, you might be the one
it all depends on how your destiny's cut

my heart's the only prize
(not a rental, sorry to disappoint)
gentle denial
i've been in gentle denial my whole, entire life
(that goes for you too sheila)
gentle denial
yeah, gentle denial, i've been in gentle denial
i've been in

gentle deny
gentle deny
gentle deny
gentle deny

my heart's a prize but to her it isn't
and when she said it
i felt that hit
but when you're in a denial
as gentle as mine
it's so easy to forget

to forget, to forget, to forget
my heart's not a prize
to forget, to forget, to forget
my heart's not a prize
to forget, to forget, to forget
my heart's not a prize
to forget, to forget, to forget
my heart's not a prize

my heart's not a prize
but i wanted it to be for you
my heart's not a prize
i wanted it to be for you
my heart's not a prize
i wanted it to be for you
