Heart Won't Let Me

"stuck in a relationship with the wrong person… we’ve all been there. the arguments are never-ending. you don’t see eye to eye. maybe the only thing clear here is that you shouldn’t be together. so why is it so hard to leave? you hang onto the rare moments when things are okay as fuel to get you thru the turbulent times. this is one of the few songs in our catalogue that sees me using the full range of my chest voice. it’s about as low as i can go, and the chorus is at the top end of my vocal register—the only other song i do this on that comes to mind is "tampa." the second chorus is a double chorus, using the last line of the first half as the first line of the second half (i.e. “my heart won’t let me...be the one to quit) is such a hot songwriting play. I’m proud of that one."

- Paul "Heart Won't Let Me" (stylized in all lowercase) is the third track on LANY's third studio album, Mama's Boy.
