  • 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 of 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 (ooh)
    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 (ooh)
    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 (ooh)
    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 (ooh)
    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 (ooh)
    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 (ooh)
    The heart won't lie
