Alex Hall and Tenille Townes - Heart Shut

I'm sitting here in a neon cloud
You walk in, there ain't no doubt
You look happy now, damn you look happy now
He takes your coat and gets your chair
You're talkin' fast, you cut you're hair
You still drink Coke and Crown
Yeah, you look happy now

I wish I could walk over
Say, "hello, how've you been?"
Pretend that this ain't killing me
Pretend that we're just old friends
I wish I could just lie to you
Keep my feelings all locked up
When it comes to you, I know I'll say too much
'Cause it's hard to keep my heart shut
It's hard to keep my heart shut

Is gravity that's in this room?
Why do I feel so pulled to you
And I'm right here with him
Damn, I looked at you again
Took some space, I gave it time
For the smoke to clear, for the fire to die
But the flame's still flickering
And I'm right here with him

I wish I could walk over
Say, "hello, how've you been?"
Pretend that this ain't killing me
Pretend we're just old friends
I wish I could just lie to you
Keep my feelings all locked up
When it comes to you, I know I'll say too much
'Cause it's hard to keep my heart shut

I wonder if you feel the way I do
Is it better if we never know the truth?
I wish I could walk over
Say, "hello, how've you been?"
Pretend that this ain't killing me
Pretend we're just old friends
I wish I could just lie to you
Keep my feelings all locked up
When it comes to you, I know I'll say too much
'Cause it's hard to keep my heart shut
It's hard to keep my heart shut

I can't keep my heart shut, oh
I can't keep my heart shut
I can't keep my heart shut
