Looking back over the years
Of all the things Ive always meant to say
But the words didnt come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Because the heart wont lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But theres one thing that wont change
I know Ive tried
The heart wont lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see youre lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart wont lie
Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Because the heart wont lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But theres one thing that wont change
I know Ive tried
The heart wont lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see youre lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart wont lie
The heart wont lie
