When the whole world's got the wrong idea

Even though I made myself clear

In the past

I've been misunderstood

And haven't handled it well

The way I know that I could

But things are different now

Since I stopped caring

I don't worry about

What people saying

Cos there's no way that I

Can stop them thinking

What they're thinking



I'm just listening to my heartbeat

To the tune

I've been singing from the start

Since I learned the truth

I gotta make my own decisions

'Bout what to do

Can't be changing up the rhythm

Just for you



When it looks like I've lost my way

Even though I'm saying I'm okay

Let me be

There's nothing no-one can do

When all odds are stacked against me

My true colours shine through

The fog of deception

That's been clouding your perception

Of who I am

I'm ready for rejection

I'm not begging for acceptance



I'm just listening to my heartbeat

To the tune

I've been singing from the start

Since I learned the truth

I gotta make my own decisions

'Bout what to do

Can't be changing up the rhythm

Just for you



I'm just listening to my heartbeat

To the tune

I've been singing from the start

Since I learned the truth

I gotta make my own decisions

'Bout what to do

Can't be changing up the rhythm

Just for you



I did it just to prove 'em wrong

Cos they said I'd never make anything of myself

I said I'd do it all along

Just kept on following my heartbeat and nothing else



I'm just listening to my heartbeat

To the tune

I've been singing from the start

Since I learned the truth

I gotta make my own decisions

'Bout what to do

Can't be changing up the rhythm

Just for you



I'm just listening to my heartbeat

To the tune

I've been singing from the start

Since I learned the truth

I gotta make my own decisions

'Bout what to do

Can't be changing up the rhythm

Just for you



I'm just listening to my heartbeat

I'm just following my heartbeat

I'm just listening to my heartbeat

I'm just following my heartbeat
