Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard

Don't act like your heart isn’t hard

And that the joker isn't your card

Changing your tune as you put up your guard

And go whistling past a graveyard

You can change your mind like you're changing your clothes

Though you dress in rags and you turn up your nose

When it makes no sense, I will act like it does

And come to your defense though I have no weapons

So don’t act like your heart isn't hard

And that the truth in your head isn't dark

You can't turn Tin Pan Alley into a boulevard

And go whistling past a graveyard

Don't want the pretense of what love shouldn't be

It will bore you to death before setting you free

To be just as good or bad as you are

In the eye of a storm, we will both be sorry

You could hide your tears behind the facade

Of a thousand jokes you thought I forgot

And then blame me for no longer laughing

Everyone's cruel at times

When you're not at your best

And you’re crossing the line

I’ll look past your mistakes

If you look past mind

And go stumbling past a gold mine
