Lyrics: TIRION
Music: TIRION
[Verse 1]
A face is easy
A smile will do
The curve of your mouth
The color of you
I can sketch your shadow
In one quiet glance
But the heart inside you
Won't hold still for my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
I read the surface
Like a line in sand
Then it slips away
Like water through my plans
Oh, I can see you
But I can't quite know
What keeps on living
Down below
[Chorus]
The human heart is hard
Hard to guess
(so hard to guess)
I can name the shape
I can't name the rest
(what's in your chest?)
Looks are easy
They fall into place
But the true heart hides
Behind the face
[Verse 2]
A polished tear
A practiced laugh
A borrowed softness
On a broken path
We wear our answers
Like evening clothes
But the truth in us
Is a place nobody knows
[Pre-Chorus]
I trace the edges
Of your quiet pain
Find the moonlit cracks
Then they blur again
Oh, I can touch you
Like a painted door
But what's behind it
I can't be sure
[Chorus]
The human heart is hard
Hard to guess
(so hard to guess)
I can name the shape
I can't name the rest
(what's in your chest?)
Looks are easy
They fall into place
But the true heart hides
Behind the face
[Bridge]
And it hurts to see through
Still not see in
To watch the whole world
And miss where it begins
We are soft maps
Drawn on glass
All these beautiful surfaces
And no way through the glass
[Final Chorus]
The human heart is hard
Hard to guess
(so hard to guess)
I can name the shape
I can't name the rest
(what's in your chest?)
Looks are easy
They fall into place
But the true heart hides
Behind the face
(behind the face)
(behind the face)
