Hard Heart To Break (Live / Tokyo After Midnight Session)

singer-songwriter, acoustic, ballad, 80s Classic Rock Ballad, Hair Metal, Sleaze Rock

Verse 1

You said love was never gonna slow you down
Just another night in a dead-end town
But every road still brings you back here
So tell me now — what are you runnin’ from, dear?
You play it cool, you don’t let it show
But I see the cracks when the lights go low

Pre-Chorus

You built these walls out of steel and scars
But even steel don’t hold forever in the dark

Chorus

You got a hard heart to break
Locked up tight, but I see the pain
Every tear you hide, every scar you fake
I know there’s still love behind the barricade

You got a hard heart to break
But I won’t stop, I won’t walk away
Even if it takes all night
I’ll find the truth and make it right

Verse 2

I see the fire burnin’ deep inside
But you don’t let it loose, you keep it tied
You say love’s just another losing game
But every gambler bets the same
You act like nothin’ ever gets through
But every move you make says otherwise too

Pre-Chorus

You built these walls out of pain and pride
But even the strongest crack if they don’t bend in time

Chorus

You got a hard heart to break
Locked up tight, but I see the pain
Every tear you hide, every scar you fake
I know there’s still love behind the barricade

You got a hard heart to break
But I won’t stop, I won’t walk away
Even if it takes all night
I’ll stay right here and fight this fight

Bridge

You’re strong enough to stand alone
But love was never meant to turn to stone
Let me in, don’t turn away
Some hearts don’t break — they just bend this way

Chorus

You got a hard heart to break
Locked inside, but I see the pain
You got a hard heart to break
Every tear you hide, every scar you fake
I know there’s still love behind the barricade

You got a hard heart to break
But I won’t stop, I won’t walk away
You got a hard heart to break
Even if it takes all night
I’ll find the truth and set it right

You got a hard heart to break…

Outro

Maybe love was never in your plans
But here I am, still reachin’ for your hand
So take a chance, don’t turn away
Even steel hearts bend…
Before they break
