Never thought I'd make it through
Took a while to get to you
I felt my mind takin over

Tried to go against my heart
Didn't feel no break apart
Everything I need I found nowhere


It's so much harder to face it
When it's right in front of me

Had enough of holdin on
Couldn't save my life from runnin
Til I stopped pretendin


[Chorus]
Now I hear my heart for the first time

Never will I run again, get rest in my mind
Now I hear my heart for the first time
Feelin like I've finally got my stars all aligned

I know what to do
I know what to say
Gotta go my own way

Never look back over my shoulder
Now I hear my heart for the first time
Because of you


In a world of secrecy
Where there's no more honesty

You see the view steppin under
You'll fall for anything
If you don't believe in something

Life will take you over
It's hard to see


But easier if you face it
I know cause it was in front of me, yeah
Had enough of holdin on

Couldn't save my life from runnin
Now I've stopped pretendin


[Chorus]
Now I hear my heart for the first time
Never will I run again, get rest in my mind

Now I hear my heart for the first time
Feelin like I've finally got my stars all aligned
I know what to do

I know what to say
Gotta go my own way
Never look back over my shoulder

Now I hear my heart for the first time
Because of you


(Never thought I'd make it through
Took a while to get to you
I felt my mind takin over

Tried to go against my heart
Didn't feel me break apart
Everything I need is from you)


[Chorus]
Now I hear my heart for the first time

Never will I run again, get rest in my mind
Now I hear my heart for the first time
Feelin like I've finally got my stars all aligned

I know what to do
I know what to say
Gotta go my own way

Never look back over my shoulder
Now I hear my heart for the first time
Because of you


(Never thought I'd make it through
Took a while to get to you

Tried to go against my heart
Didn't feel me break apart)
