Heart And I
Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow Lyrics

I hope there's a golden age,
I wish for a better era,

I pray for my sanity,
I hope to maintain my mental well-being,

Where we don't have to answer to anyone about anything
Where we can live freely without being questioned about our actions,

This is not like the brochure,
Reality is not as perfect as advertised,

Flying cars and sex machines
Things that seem too good to be true,

We're all so compliant
We follow blindly without questioning,

Cause everything is what it seems
We take things at face value,

And they can't build a satellite to tell you how loved you are,
Technology cannot measure the extent of love,

Or some kind of life device that holds you in you've gone too far
There is no machine that saves you from your consequences,

And I don't feel myself again
I feel lost and disconnected,

I thought I'd be fixed by now
I expected to be healed or at least better,

Walking through the horizon
Moving forward to new possibilities,

I find myself back here somehow
But end up back where I started,

Give me something to die for
Something to live passionately for,

Or design a quiet mind
Create peace of mind,

Something to like mankind for
Find something to appreciate about humanity,

Cause we don't lie my heart and I.
My heart and I cannot deceive ourselves,

You've been bending so long now,
You've been conforming to others' expectations for a while,

You think its standing up
You believe it's a sign of strength,

And they line up behind you
People support you when you conform,

To build you up, buttercup
To encourage you,

We can lose all meaning
We can forget our values,

Quicker than a credit card
Faster than we realize,

And not everyone's healing
Not everyone is getting better,

So try your best and don't look too hard
Do your best but don't over-analyze,

Cause they can't build a satellite
Technology cannot replace emotions,

To tell you what's in your heart
To measure what you truly feel,

Or some kind of life device to hold you in
Nothing can save you from yourself,

You've gone too far
It's too late to turn back,

Will I ever feel that waking
Will I ever experience that kind of awakening,

Make it as a lullaby
Let it be a soothing thought,

Don't ask me to explain again
I cannot repeat my reasoning,

I can't lie to my heart and I
I cannot deceive myself,

My heart and I
My true self,

I've been feeling so lonely
I've been experiencing isolation,

Feeling so low
Depressed and sad,

So low I almost let go
So low that I almost gave up,
