A Heart Can't Stay Still
The watchmen rang the bells at dawn
But the fire had already burned too long
By the time anyone knew what was going on
You were long so long gone
You told me that you loved me
And swore you always will
But nothing lasts forever
Cause a heart can't stay still
Now the words come back to haunt me
Like a house upon the hill
Deserted by a father
Cause a heart can't stay still
No, a heart can't stay still
We told our stories to piece into place
A little peace to see it got this way
But you're still out there calling upon the same ole name
While we're covered in ash stains
You told me that you loved me
And swore you always will
But nothing lasts forever
Cause a heart can't stay still
Now the words come back to haunt me
Like a house upon the hill
Deserted by a father
Cause a heart can't stay still
No, a heart can't stay still
Oh the pictures, no longer fit the frames
Yeah, you told me that you loved me
And swore you always will
But nothing lasts forever
Cause a heart can't stay still
Now the words come back to haunt me
Like a house upon the hill
Deserted by a father
Cause a heart can't stay still
No, a heart can't stay still
But the fire had already burned too long
By the time anyone knew what was going on
You were long so long gone
You told me that you loved me
And swore you always will
But nothing lasts forever
Cause a heart can't stay still
Now the words come back to haunt me
Like a house upon the hill
Deserted by a father
Cause a heart can't stay still
No, a heart can't stay still
We told our stories to piece into place
A little peace to see it got this way
But you're still out there calling upon the same ole name
While we're covered in ash stains
You told me that you loved me
And swore you always will
But nothing lasts forever
Cause a heart can't stay still
Now the words come back to haunt me
Like a house upon the hill
Deserted by a father
Cause a heart can't stay still
No, a heart can't stay still
Oh the pictures, no longer fit the frames
Yeah, you told me that you loved me
And swore you always will
But nothing lasts forever
Cause a heart can't stay still
Now the words come back to haunt me
Like a house upon the hill
Deserted by a father
Cause a heart can't stay still
No, a heart can't stay still
