There's a cloak like the night that surrounds ya And you've locked your emotions inside In the darkness, your heart is the prisoner who waits to be tried There's a tower in which you are captive You look out but you never look in Carved in stone 'round your heart is a list of your ten secret sins Hardened hearts tell old lies We can see through your disguise Hardened hearts you can't hide Can't go on living this way There are people who won't break their silence There are people who won't break at all Again and again they refuse to acknowledge His call There are those who will chose isolation The hurt and the pain will subside But you've hardened your hearts to the truth you will always deny Hardened hearts tell old lies We can see through your disguise Hardened hearts you can't hide Can't go on living this way Still you harden your hearts to the truth you will always deny Hardened hearts tell old lies Can't go on living this way-ay-ay! Hardened hearts tell old lies He can see through your disguise Hardened hearts you can't hide Blinded by your foolish pride! Hardened hearts tell old lies He can see through your disguise!! Hardened hearts you can't hide Don't you know, He's on your side!! ©1986 Light Records
