There's a cloak, like the night, that surrounds us, 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 you heart is a list of your ten secret sins.
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
You 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 fear will subside, but you've hardened your hearts to the truth you will always deny.
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
You can see through your disguise,
Hardened hearts, you can't hide,
Can't go on living this way.
Still you've hardened your hearts to the truth you will always deny.
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
Can't go on living this way,
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
He can see through your disguise,
Hardened hearts, you can't hide,
Blinded by your foolish pride,
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
He can see through your disguise,
Hardened hearts, you can't hide,
Don't you know he's on your side?
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
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 you heart is a list of your ten secret sins.
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
You 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,

Hardened hearts, you can't hide,
