Why, The Heart

Lyrics and Music by Fong Xiong Ai Voice was used Album 5(Just Me) 23. Why, The Heart Verse 1 Why is it always the heart? Not just for lovers holding hands But for every dream we ever carried Every hope we ever had It beats faster when we’re afraid Slows down when we feel alone Breaks apart when life gets heavy Yet still somehow keeps going on Why does passion live inside it? Why does grief stay there so long? Why does every kind of love Feel stitched into its song? Pre-Chorus Love for people Love for living Love for memories we can’t replace Love for futures never given Love for moments time can’t save Chorus Why is it always the heart? The thing that keeps us alive The thing we offer to the world Every single time we try To dream, to care, to hope, to fall To build something that might not last And every beat just reminds us Nothing good escapes the past Explain to me Why it’s always the heart Why everything begins there Verse 2 A mother works until midnight Still finds strength to smile somehow A father hides the weight he carries Just to hold the family down An artist bleeds into a canvas A soldier fights through fear and scars A lonely soul keeps searching skies Trying to remember who they are It’s not just romance that can break you Not just losing someone’s touch Sometimes life itself hurts deeper Because we wanted it too much Pre-Chorus We love the people We love the struggle Love the dreams that keep us awake Love the pain because without it Would we even know what’s real? Chorus Why is it always the heart? The center of every human thing The place where sorrow settles down And where hope still learns to sing It carries every kind of love Even the ones that leave scars That’s why every road we walk Always leads back to the heart Bridge Maybe the heart was never made Just to keep blood inside our veins Maybe it was built to carry meaning Through every joy and every pain Because to live is more than breathing More than simply staying alive It’s caring enough to hurt for something And still choosing to survive Final Chorus So maybe it’s always the heart Because that’s where being human starts Every passion, every memory Every shattered, beating part The heart keeps moving through the darkness Even when the soul feels lost Because love was never just one person Love is everything we are And every beat keeps asking us To keep going No matter how hard it gets
