(I Just Need to Know) My Heart is Sound

(i just need to know) my heart is sound

i’ll never forget you
i’ll never forget the things you’ve done to me
there’s no use in pretending this heart ever mattered
though you know how hard i’ve tried

and over time we can regret our choices
we can still live our lives knowing we’re not on solid ground
over time we can still take our chances
but in the here and now i just need to know my heart is sound

so many questions
too many questions that we’ve left unsaid
a misunderstanding
without even knowing you can break this heart in two

when the cracks begin to form
when every touch becomes a bit less welcome
and when the doubts begin to show
what if our broken selves are the best that we can ever hope to find?

over time we can regret our choices
and as we live our lives how do we find our solid ground?
over time we can still take our chances
but in the here and now i just need to know my heart is sound

i just need to know my heart is sound
