[Intro] If my heart could talk I wonder what it'd say [Verse 1] It'd probably tell you I'm tired Before I'd ever let it show Tell you some nights I need somebody Even when I say I don't It'd tell you every little goodbye Stayed longer than I let you see And every time I said, "I'm fine" There was another truth underneath I've gotten good at smiling When I don't know what to do Good at changing conversations Before they get too close to truth [Pre-Chorus] But underneath the noise Under everything I've learned to hide There's a voice I've kept so quiet Trying to get outside [Chorus] If my heart could talk It would tell you everything Every fear I never gave a name Every hope I couldn't bring myself to say If my heart could talk It wouldn't care about my pride It would tell you when I needed you Instead of saying I'm alright Maybe all this time The strongest thing that I could do Is let my heart talk And finally tell the truth [Verse 2] It'd tell the ones who stayed beside me I noticed every single time Every quiet act of kindness Every hand reaching for mine It'd tell the ones I couldn't hold I still carry what they gave Some people leave your life But something beautiful remains It'd say I'm sorry to the person I was hardest on the most The one staring from the mirror Trying not to lose all hope [Pre-Chorus] Underneath the armor Under every scar I learned to hide There's a voice that's getting louder I wont keep it inside [Chorus] If my heart could talk It would tell you everything Every fear I never gave a name Every hope I couldn't bring myself to say If my heart could talk It wouldn't care about my pride It would tell you when I needed you Instead of saying I'm alright Maybe all this time The strongest thing that I could do Is let my heart talk And finally tell the truth [Bridge - Piano and Vocal] So here it is I get scared I get lonely I need love I need holding I've made mistakes I've lost my way I've needed help And been afraid to say I miss people I forgive people I'm still learning to forgive myself And if you're asking how I'm doing Tonight I won't say "fine" [Build] Tonight I'm gonna tell the truth [Final Chorus - Full Band and Gospel Harmonies] My heart can talk So I'm gonna let it speak Here's every scar Here's every dream Here's every broken part of me My heart can talk And I don't have to run and hide I can tell you when I need you I can say I'm not alright And maybe being strong Was never holding everything inside Maybe strength is opening the door And letting someone see behind My heart can talk My heart can talk And tonight I'm listening [Choir / Background Vocals] Let it out Let it speak You don't have to hide what you need Let it out Let it speak There's no shame in being seen [Final Refrain] My heart can talk So I'm gonna let it speak No more "I'm fine" When that isn't me My heart can talk And finally So can I [Outro - Piano] So can I
