Words that my mouth speak

Are not from me

They come from some unknown place

Where nothing and no one has a face

Don't ask me why

My heart won't lie

There's no use to even try

My heart won't lie

So just speak hellos and never goodbyes

Tears that my eyes cry

Are not easy to hide

They come fast and slow

Why I don't know

Don't ask me why

My heart won't lie

There's no use to even try

My heart won't lie

So just speak hellos and never goodbyes

Screams that my mouth pierce

Are nothing less than fierce

They come louder and louder

From deep in a place where only pain matters

Don't ask me why

My heart won't lie

There's no use to even try

My heart won't lie

So just speak hellos and never goodbyes

Pain and anguish that my eyes show

Are from deep within my soul

They come from somewhere

That says no one cares

Don't ask me why

My heart won't lie

There's no use to even try

My heart won't lie

So just speak hellos and never goodbyes

Loves that pour from my heart

Are from some hidden part

They come without warning

Only to bring later pain and mourning

Don't ask me why

My heart won't lie

There's no use to even try

So just speak hellos and never goodbyes
