Story Behind The Song

Whenever someone breaks up with someone else, they tell themselves that they are better off and they convince themselves that things will be better - but that's not an easy thing.

Song Description

If people can use "Mind over Matter" to walk on burning coals - couldn't we do the same thing to get over a broken heart.

Lyrics

Mind Over Matter
Words and Music by Jennifer Onesto Jennings
Copyright 2006


Every night I sit and write bad stories of
Broken hearts wreckin? all the glory
Of true love we have all believed in
We have all believed in now

And when the nights keep getting colder
I realize this is really over
I tell myself I am growing stronger
I?m feeling really strong right now

Chorus:
Here I am walking over burning coals again
Telling myself we can still be friends
Pretending that it?s just mind over matter
It?s mind over matter now

I know it?s where we?re s?posed to be
Looking back and chasing history
I guess I?ll just chalk it up to fate
Cuz I?m feeling really great right now

Sometimes things work out that way
And I think everything will be okay
Even though you?re always on my mind
Yes, I?m feeling really fine right now

Chorus: 2x
Here I am walking over burning coals again
Telling myself we can still be friends
Pretending that it?s just mind over matter
It?s mind over matter now

Guitar solo

I find I?m staying safe at home now
Staring at the silent telephone
I cry until I make myself feel sick
But I?m feeling just fantastic now

I?ve heard you?ve been moving on
I think it?s great that you found the one
I don?t care if you end up with her
Cuz I?m feeling really super now

Chorus:
Here I am walking over burning coals again
Telling myself we can still be friends
Pretending that it?s just mind over matter
It?s mind over matter now
Here I am walking over burning coals again
Telling myself we can still be friends
Pretending that it?s just mind over matter
It?s mind over matter now
Hearts don?t matter
My heart doesn?t matter now
Love doesn?t matter
No love doesn?t matter now
