You been making conversation but it's just a string of empty words You've been carving out a smile when all you wanna do is burst Well there's nothing you could hide that could ever be too dark to tell And I'm crossing all my fingers that you'll come out of your shell Now you can hang your heart up on my wall Just the way it is, the way you are Yeah you can hang your heart up on my wall I won't let it down, won't let you fall I been trying to put my finger on the thing that really makes you glow I been soaking up your eyes and you don't even seem to know I know it's not easy, and I know it gets so dark But I'm sure it would be harder if I didn't have your spark Yeah, hang your heart up on my wall Just the way it is, the way you are I need you to hang your heart up on my wall I won't let it down, won't let you fall And we're gonna make it through, and we're gonna see the light And I'm gonna keep a place for you inside, to hang your heart And when someone else is down you can take your turn and say There is nothing that you need to hide away Just hang your heart Hang your heart up on my wall Just the way it is, the way you are Hang your heart up on my wall I won't let it down, won't let you fall
