Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw the porch light flicker off last night
Counted all the things we never said
We drifted somewhere past the county line
Two stubborn kids who wouldn't bend
But I still trace your name across my chest
Still hear your laugh in every room
When your eyes find mine across the yard
The cold comes early but it never blooms
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't owe me any answers now
Don't have to spell it out for me
Some roots grow deep without a sound
And patience is a kind of honesty
[Chorus]
Hearts never hide the truth
There's a fire burning under you
Even when the talking's through
Love keeps showing up for you
Through the miles and through the rain
Through the joy and through the ache
Somewhere past the county line
Hearts never hide the truth
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh ooh)
Never hide the truth
(Ooh ooh)
Never hide the truth
[Verse 2]
A coffee cup you left behind
A worn-out shirt that smells like you
A hundred things I can't explain
Still sitting patient in this room
I won't corner you with questions now
Won't drag you out into the cold
I'll just let the seasons do their work
And hold the hand I get to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause love ain't rope you tie around
Ain't a debt you pay in time
It's giving someone room to breathe
And trusting what we'll find
[Chorus]
Hearts never hide the truth
There's a fire burning under you
Even when the talking's through
Love keeps showing up for you
Through the miles and through the rain
Through the joy and through the ache
Somewhere past the county line
Hearts never hide the truth
[Bridge]
Maybe love lives in the quiet
Maybe love lives in the wait
Maybe it's the small forgiveness
That we hand out way too late
I don't need to hold your future
I don't need to know the plan
I can love you through the stillness
And still let you be your own man
[Final Chorus]
Hearts never hide the truth
Time will show us what to do
No rehearsal and no disguise
Just the feeling in your eyes
If our roads should cross again
Let it come without the shame
Let the heart speak when it's due
Hearts never hide the truth
[Outro]
Some hearts talk without a sound
Some love waits to come around
And hearts never hide the truth
(Never hide the truth)
