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!!
