Lyrics
Head over heels is the way I always jump in
Call me optimistic, but each time I?m sure that it?ll never end
But it?s been proven time and again
That I am painfully wrong so from now on I?ll be singing this song?
CHORUS
Tread softly on my heart
Take its fragile state into regard
And go easy when you say
It?s time to be going on your way
Tread softly
With all the experience gathered in your life
Makes you shake your head and ask yourself why
You don?t build up those walls higher than you do
Don?t want to miss him when he comes along so ?til then I?ll be singing this song?
Tread softly on my heart
Take its fragile state into regard
And go easy when you say
It?s time to be going on your way
Tread softly
BRIDGE
Don?t want to harden my heart to shield it from the pain
Cause true love I could be missing so ?til then I?ll sing
Tread softly on my heart
Be gentle as you stop to leave your mark
And don?t look back when you go
And I?ll try not to let my heartache show
Tread softly
Tread softly
