It isn't easy to stay
When your friends tell you go
When your heart tells you yes
But your head tells you no
And though we searched for a compromise
Looked in each other's eyes for answers
The die had been cast we were all out
Of last second chances
And the heart has its reasons, I know
A time and a season an ebb and a flow
You were waving goodbye I was saying hello
I don't understand it
But the heart has its reasons, I know
And who knows why it went wrong
Between you and me
Suddenly we weren't the people
That we used to be
I was building a bridge between us
You were building a wall
And the whole thing crumbled and tumbled
In the eye of the storm
And the heart has its reasons, I know
A time and a season an ebb and a flow
You were waving goodbye I was saying hello
I don't understand it
But the heart has its reasons, I know
Oh, I bless you and set you free
Though you know there's a place deep inside
Where you're still a part of me
