Daniel Nahmod - Anonymous Heart

There are secrets at the center of my story
Priceless pages torn out by unseen hands
There are questions that I've always wanted answered
And I know that I will never have the chance

There's a reason why I ended up a singer
There's a reason why I've never liked to drink
There's a reason I prefer winter to summer
There's a reason why I tend to overthink

But hist'ry is stolen, connections are broken and I'm on an island to myself
And often I wonder whose name am I under as I feel my way in the dark
Alone with my anonymous heart

All the faces washed away without inscription
All the lovers come to unacknowledged end
All the poetry and melody forgotten
All the languages that won't be heard again

When hist'ry is stolen, connections are broken
And I'm on an island to myself
And I can't help but wonder whose name was I under
As I feel my way in the dark
Just me and my anonymous heart

More than one heart beats in my chest
So tired I can hear them sigh when I rest
They're begging to be unerased
But yet mine is the only face I see, looking back at me

Then a child is born and history starts over
We're determined that no mystery remain
'Cause even more than teaching right and wrong and reading
We're making sure he knows the meaning of his name

Your perfectionist tendencies come from your mommy
Your messiness, well, that's all me
And when you sing along with a romantic song
That's a habit all three of us had
And I hope you'll remember
These stories you'll treasure
When you become a dad
