Dear heart, do you belong to me, or do I belong to you? / Just look at all the trouble you dragged me into / I’ve heard it said to, “Follow your heart” / But I’m starting to wonder if it’s gone too far // Oh, heart, you’ve let me down / Chasing love where it can’t be found / Heart, we’ve fallen out / ‘Cause all of your emotions have led me to doubt / Tell me who’s going to save us now? // Dear heart, you’re in the wrong place / Looking out for yourself, no matter what I say / And I know that you’re holding me back, and it’s time for a change / So I’m giving you away / La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Behind the Song:
“Dear Heart, do you belong to me, or do I belong to you? Look at all the trouble, you’ve dragged me into.” This is a light-hearted (no pun intended) song about how “following your heart” isn’t always the best guidance. Emotion is a powerful and persuasive force; it’s easy to let it be the one calling the shots in our lives when sometimes it shouldn’t. Many times our hearts want what is contrary to what God wants. We’re not supposed to be looking out for ourselves anyway. This song is an audit of sorts to our hearts’ selfish wishes.' - Sanctus Real
