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
  
   Chorus:
   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 love your life from day to day
   But seeing you across the room tonight
   Just gives me away
  
   Repeat chorus
