Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard Lyrics

Don't act like your heart isn't hard
And 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'll 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 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'll 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 façade
Of a thousand jokes you thought I forgot
And then blame me for not 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 mine
And go stumbling past a gold mine
We'll go stumbling past a gold mine
