Foolish Beat

Rewrite of Debbie Gibson's song by the same name

 

This is the time

My broken heart and broken dreams

Must be over

Inside of me I must

Find a place where

Where my life isn't simply

A make believe wish

On a four leaf clover

 

Now is a new time

Now I am in a new place

Where on my own

I'll make all my dreams come true

It starts today when I leave you

 

Chorus

 

I don't wanna love again

The twisted way I thought I loved you

I think I'd die

If ever again

I lived my life

For a man like you

And now as we say goodbye

Oh the look in your eyes

Leaves me never more sure of myself

As I walk away with my heart still intact

Finally I'm free again

For the first time in a long time

Not falling apart

 

Well, no I'm sorry

So don't even try

Cause it's too late

I'm not turning around

Only a fool would turn around

And come back to you, oh

No, there's no reason

To let a foolish beat

Back into my heart

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

 

Oh, can't you see

You're not fooling anybody

Don't you see

There are no tears falling down my face

So much better

Since I walked away

Keeping my heart

Won't ever again be throwing it away

Never again

Wanna hold you, boy

Oh, so just be gone

 

I don't ever wanna love like that again

Oh, feels so good

For the first time in my life

I'm not falling apart

No, I'm not falling apart

 

I don't ever wanna love you like that again

Oh, feels so good

For the good time in my life

I'm not falling apart

No, I'm not falling apart
