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 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
Coming to your defence though I have no weapons
So don't act like your heart isn't hard
That the truth in your head isn't dark
You can turn Tin Pan Alley into a boulevard
And go whistling past a graveyard
Don't want the pretence 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 the storm, we will both be sorry
Don't hide your tears behind a 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 mine
And go stumbling past a gold mine
Don't act like your heart isn't hard
