THE HEART REMAINS THE SAME

THE HEART REMAINS THE SAME

Verse 1

I read the words you left behind,
And thought I'd lost you for all time.
I heard goodbye in every line,
And never stopped to ask you why.

The silence spoke, the tears fell slow,
I judged the things I didn't know.
I saw you leaving, turned away,
Not knowing what you couldn't say.

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes the truth is hard to see,
When pain is all we feel inside.
We build our walls, we turn away,
And let the love get lost in pride.

Chorus

Don't let the words deceive your heart,
Don't let the silence tear us apart.
There's more to love than what we say,
More than the reasons we walk away.

Though time may change the world we know,
Though roads divide and rivers flow,
Beneath the hurt, beyond the pain,
The heart remembers, the heart remains the same.

Verse 2

A song can capture one moment in time,
A little truth in every line.
It tells a story, not the whole,
Just one small chapter of a soul.

And if my words have caused you pain,
I'd reach for you and try again.
For every wound that words can leave,
There's hope in what we still believe.

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes we speak through tears and fears,
And hide the truth behind the pain.
But if we listen, we might find
A little love still left to save.

Chorus

Don't let the words deceive your heart,
Don't let the silence tear us apart.
There's more to love than what we say,
More than the reasons we walk away.

Though time may change the world we know,
Though roads divide and rivers flow,
Beneath the hurt, beyond the pain,
The heart remembers, the heart remains the same.

Bridge

If I could turn back the hands of time,
I'd read your heart, not just your lines.
I'd reach for you, I'd let you speak,
I'd see the strength beneath the weak.

And if there's still a light somewhere,
A little hope still waiting there,
I'll meet you halfway, come what may,
And listen to the words you couldn't say.

Final Chorus

Don't let the words deceive your heart,
It's never too late for a brand-new start.
There's more to love than yesterday,
And wounds can heal when we choose to stay.

Though time may change the world we know,
Though some must leave and some must go,
Beyond the hurt, beyond the pain,
The heart remembers, the heart remains the same.

Outro — softly, then with rising emotion

The words may fade, the years may fly,
The truth may hide behind goodbye.
But somewhere deep, through joy and pain,
The heart remembers…

The heart remains the same.
