My Heart won’t let me lie Anymore

Verse 1
There was a time I could fake it,
Smile on cue, say the lines.
Hold your hand in the silence
And pretend the spark was fine.

But lately when you say “forever,”
It echoes off a hollow floor.
I used to bend to keep us breathing—
I can’t bend like that no more.

Pre-Chorus
I tried to paint it in bright colors,
Tried to make the gray look warm.
But truth keeps tapping on my shoulder
Like a quiet coming storm.

Chorus
My heart won’t let me lie anymore.
It doesn’t race when you walk through the door.
No fire, no ache, no wanting to fight—
Just a calm I can’t ignore.
I wish I could give you what you’re reaching for…
But my heart won’t let me lie anymore.

Verse 2
It’s not that you’re a villain,
It’s not that I’m the same.
Somewhere in the in-between
We both just stopped the flame.

I don’t hate you, I don’t miss you,
I don’t break when you’re gone.
It scares me how the silence
Feels more right than wrong.

Pre-Chorus
I kept searching for the feeling,
Like it slipped behind a door.
But every time I try to force it,
It just disappears some more.

Chorus
My heart won’t let me lie anymore.
It doesn’t tremble like before.
No jealousy, no desperate nights,
No bleeding on the floor.
I’d rather hurt you with the truth
Than love you out of chore—
My heart won’t let me lie anymore.

Bridge
Maybe love can fade without a sound.
Maybe it just levels out.
No crash, no tears, no bitter war—
Just a quiet moving out.

I thought I’d beg to keep you,
Thought I’d fall apart.
But the loudest thing between us
Is the silence in my heart.

Final Chorus
My heart won’t let me lie anymore.
It’s steady like an empty shore.
No waves, no pull, no undertow—
Just space where love once poured.
You deserve a fire I don’t have stored…
My heart won’t let me lie anymore.

Outro (soft)
And maybe that’s the kindest thing
I’ve ever done before.
