What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind.
What goes on in your mind?

The other day I saw you as I walked along the road,
But when I saw him with you I could feel my future fold.
It’s so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind.
What goes on in your mind?

I met you in the morning, waiting for the tides of time,
But now the tide is turning I can see that I was blind.
It’s so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart?

I used to think of no-one else But you were just the same,
You didn’t even think of me as someone with a name.
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die.
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind.
What goes on in your mind?
