what to listen to

I don’t know anymore
What to listen to
my head
or to my heart

at first I listened purely to my heart
and that got me into a lot of trouble
and a lot of heartbreak

so I tried to listen to my head
but examining all the possibilities before even stepping into the pool
ended up with me losing my chance

then I tried not listening to either one.
Guess where that got me?
Back to heartbreak AND feeling like an idiot

I even tried to mix listening to them for a while
Then I found that the other one didn’t like me,
so I retreated and listened only to fear.

So here I am, wondering what I should listen to
I really am lost on this so if you don’t mind,
I’d really, REALLY appreciate a clue
As to what I should listen to
