Looking 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 seeing 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 the night, 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

'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
