Heart Ain't a Brain
Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sittin' where we begin
Like beginnin'
And here's the end
Like kissin'
And missin' class
But what
We needed to learn
Than just some math
It's the big picture
We missed it
The big figures
Just didn't add up
We said
Let's noy leave on bad terms
In between
Them bad words
This could be love right?
Uh, huh
But are we gon' leave
When it's this good?
Damnit we just cause
Seems this lovin's
All for nothing
Baby, you know
A heart ain't a brain
But I think
That I still love you
A happy endin'
Makes it right
Cause it ends
When you don't want to
And it makes perfect sense
To end it like the start
How do I explain
This nonsense to my heart?
A heart ain't a brain
But I'm thinkin'
That I still love you
It's a fly twist
Just when you said
I got this
Right when the fight
Has stopped it
Seem my body felt wrong
Held on them nights
We held on
We can't let it go
But if we don't then
We will never know
We we said let's not leave on bad terms
In between those bad words
This could be love right?
Uh, huh
But are we gon' leave
When it's this good?
Damnit we just cause
Seems this lovin's
All for nothing
Baby, you know
A heart ain't a brain
But I think
That I still love you
A happy endin'
Makes it right
Cause it ends
When you don't want to
And it makes perfect sense
To end it like the start
How do I explain
This nonsense to my heart?
A heart ain't a brain
But I'm thinkin'
That I still love you

The lyrics highlight the indecision he feels about whether to continue the relationship or not. He sings about how their past mistakes have set them back and how they need to learn and grow from them. He knows that their love is right, but he is struggling to come to a decision. He acknowledges that it doesn't make logical sense to continue the relationship, but his heart still feels love for the other person.
The lyrics of the song also recognize the complexity of relationships, and how they are not based purely on logic. They are a combination of emotions, thoughts, and experiences that cannot always be rationalized. Brown acknowledges that a "heart ain't a brain", referring to how love and emotions can override logic and reason. Despite everything, he still feels a deep love for the other person.
Overall, "Heart Ain't A Brain" is a poignant reflection on the struggles of love and the difficult decisions that come with it. The song touches on themes of indecision, growth, and the complexities of the heart.

Intro]
Oh, woah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
It's a three-sixty turn, it's ending where we begin
Beginning like here's the end, like kissing and missing class
What we needed to learn was different than just some math
This the big picture, we missed it, the figures just didn't add up
[Pre-Chorus]
We said let's not leave on bad terms
In between them bad words (Oh), it could be love, right? Uh-huh (Uh-huh)
But are we gon' leave when it's this good? Damn, it was just 'cause
Seems this loving's all for nothing, baby, you know
[Chorus]
A heart ain't a brain
But I think that I still love you, still love you
A happy ending makes you cry
'Cause it ends when you don't want to, don't want to
And it makes perfect sense to end it like the start
How do I explain this nonsense to my heart?
A heart ain't a brain but I'm thinking that I still love you
Still love you, still love—
[Verse 2]
It's a plot twist, just when you said I got this
Right when the fight has stopped, it seemed right but it felt wrong
Held on, all them nights we held on, we can't let it go
But if we don't then we will never know
[Pre-Chorus]
We said let's not leave on bad terms
In between them bad words, it could be love, right? Uh-huh (Uh-huh, oh, oh)
But are we gon' leave when it's this good? Damn, it was just 'cause
Seems this loving's all for nothing, baby, you know
[Chorus]
A heart ain't a brain
But I think that I still love you, still love you
A happy ending makes you cry
'Cause it ends when you don't want to, don't want to, yeah
And it makes perfect sense to end it like the start
But how do I explain this nonsense to my heart? (Yeah)
A heart ain't a brain but I'm thinking that I still love you
Still love you, still love—
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Ooh)
My heart is aching thinking 'bout all the love we wasted
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, oh, oh)
My heart's impatient, can't understand the time we're taking
A heart can't have (Oh no), my heart can't decide (Can't decide, ooh)
But it's telling me it's right
And I know that we should just call it quits
But I'm thinking that all of this gotta change (Woah, woah)
'Cause my heart's going insane
[Chorus]
A heart ain't a brain
But I think that I still love you (Woah, my heart is going insane)
A happy ending makes you cry (And a happy ending)
'Cause it ends when you don't want to (Gonna make you cry, cry, cry, cry, oh)
And it makes perfect sense to end it like the start (Oh)
And how do I explain this nonsense to my heart?
A heart ain't a brain but I'm thinking that I still love you (Oh)
Still love you, still love you
[Outro]
Woah-ah, woah-woah-ah, woah
A heart ain't a brain but I think I love you (Ooh, ooh, ha)
Woah-ah, woah-woah-ah, woah
A heart ain't a brain but I think I love you (Ah)
Woah-ah, woah-woah-ah, woah (Oh)
