Lookin' back over the years
Of all the things
I've always meant to say
But the words
didn't 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 seein' you across the room
tonight just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that
won't change I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside
a foolish disguise
The heart won't 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 seein' you across the room
tonight just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that
won't change I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside
a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie
The heart won't lie
