HALF A MIND
words & music by
Tim Ponzek © 1992

I looked down as you were saying that you don’t feel the same for me
What you believed was real love, wasn’t what you thought it would be
But we were young and love was simple,
& you thought that I was the one
But the woman that you are now doesn’t need the man that I’ve become

chorus
With all my heart I’ve always loved you, until it tore itself in two
Still half my heart wants to keep trying; the other half believes that we're through
And part of me knew it was coming; the rest just didn’t want to know
Now I’ve got Half A Mind to leave you;
but Half A Mind won’t let me go

I looked back into my memory to try to see us going wrong
But all I see is our lost love, and in my mind it’s still just as strong
But you keep saying that’s it’s over,
& there’s nothing left for us to share
If there’s something that can be done,
you just say the word & I’ll be there

chorus
With all my heart I’ve always loved you, until it tore itself in two
Still half my heart wants to keep trying;
the other half believes that we're through
And part of me knew it was coming; the rest just didn’t want to know

Now I’ve got Half A Mind that’s living on lies
and swearing that we’re not through
‘Cause it can look in you eyes and say that we can start brand new
But I’ve got Half A Mind that just tries and tries
and doesn’t know what to do
‘Cause it just won’t recognize anyone but you

chorus
And part of me knew it was coming; I guess I didn’t want to know
Now I’ve got Half A Mind to leave you;
but Half A Mind won’t let me go
