Looking back over the years   Of all the things I've always meant to say   But 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 tonight, after the fire   After the scattered ashes fly   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
