My Heart Stays [Home Demo]

Intro - spoken, soft

Mm...

One, two, three...

Yeah...

Verse 1

Phone rings off the hook

But I let it go

Papers stack on the table

Letters you'll never know

Midnight on the west side

Rain against the glass

I keep your photograph folded

Where the light don't pass

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm a fool

Maybe time just moves too slow

Maybe I still want you

More than I could ever show

Chorus

My heart stays

Even when you're gone away

My heart stays

Through every night and every day

Can't explain the way it aches

My heart stays

Verse 2

Walking through the city

Crowded avenues

See your face in strangers

In shadows and in hues

December in the afternoon

Breath against the cold

Kept your jacket in my closet

Getting worn and old

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm a fool

Maybe love just leaves a scar

Maybe I still need you

More than I know who you are

Chorus

My heart stays

Even when you're gone away

My heart stays

Through every night and every day

Can't explain the way it aches

My heart stays

Bridge

(I know) I know you found somebody new

(I know) I know I should move on too

But every time I try to let you go

The echo of your name won't fade

Slow like honey, soft like Sunday rain

Breakdown - vocal layering

(Ooh...) My heart stays

(Ooh...) Right here

(Ooh...) My heart stays

(Ooh...) Right here

Chorus - ad-libs underneath

My heart stays (yes it does)

Even when you're gone away (gone away)

My heart stays (stays right here)

Through every night and every day

Can't explain the way it aches

My heart stays

Outro - spoken, fading

One... two... three...

Yeah...

Mm...
