Lyrics

My Heart Didn't Know

VERSE 1

I packed your things in an old wooden box Put the photographs underneath I turned your side of the bed toward the wall So I wouldn't have to see the empty sheets

I stopped listening for your footsteps Stopped wondering where you were I taught my hands to sleep alone And convinced my heart it didn't hurt

*REFRAIN

I swore I was done loving you I swore I'd never go back

VERSE 2

Then I saw you standing in the doorway With that same look inside your eyes And for one suspended second All those years fell out of time

I caught the scent of your cologne And my whole body knew before I did The memory moved beneath my skin Like something waking from the dead

REFRAIN

I swore I was done loving you But my heart didn't know that

VERSE 3

You reached for my hand so slowly Like you were asking me to stay And when your fingers slipped between mine The walls I'd built began to give way

I felt the warmth I'd tried forgetting The place your hand once rested there And all the reasons I had left you Couldn't make me pull away

REFRAIN

I thought I was done loving you But I was falling again

VERSE 4

Maybe we were never meant to go back Maybe back isn't where we are Because the man standing here before me Isn't the one who broke my heart

And I'm not the woman who left you I'm not afraid like I was then We're standing in the wreckage of our yesterday And somehow we're beginning again

REFRAIN

I thought I was done loving you Now I don't want to be

CHORUS

I swore I'd never love you again I swore I'd never open that door But love found a crack in the silence And came rushing through once more

I don't know how my heart remembered What my mind had put away I only know when you held me Something inside me said, stay

FINAL CHORUS

I swore I'd never love you again But here I am Here I am

My heart remembered what I couldn't And brought me back to you

I don't know where this road will take us I don't need to know tonight

I only know I'm holding you And for the first time It feels right

I swore I was done...

My heart didn't know.
