«My Heart Will Never Know» is a song written by Steve Dorff and Billy Kirsch, and recorded by American country music artist Clay Walker. It was released in May 1995 as the third and final single from his album If I Could Make a Living. It peaked at number 16 in the United States and number 6 in Canada.
Larry Flick of Billboard gave the song a positive review writing «One of the brightest stars in country music’s new wave, Walker is batting 1.000 at radio. He delivers one of his best-ever vocal performances, conveying all the heartbreak of this well-written ballad’s lyric.» Sonia Murray of the Atlanta Constitution wrote «My Heart Will Never Know,» has enough pop inflection to make it appealing to young listeners who grew up on recent rock ‘n’ roll. They’ll also grab concertgoers who’ve switched from rock to country as they’ve grown older.

Clay Walker – My Heart Will Never Know Lyrics
I pour two cups of coffee, put the paper on the table
So we can share the morning news
Your voice answers our phone when we’re not home
Friends who call can leave a message here for you
Every night I leave the light on, you’re just working late
As far as I can see everything is still the same
And my heart will never know, so I don’t fall apart
I fool myself for another day that you’re not really gone
After all this time it’s still too hard to let you go
As long as I don’t say, «Goodbye» my heart will never know
It’s been a long cold December, the snow outside keeps fallin’
I light a fire when you get home
It reminds me of the first night we made love
Like it would last forever and nothing could go wrong
You’re a part of me, a part of everything I do
So I keep holding on, hiding from the truth
So my heart will never know, so I don’t fall apart
I fool myself for another day that you’re not really gone
And after all this time it’s still too hard to let you go
As long as I don’t say, «Goodbye» my heart will never know
And after all this time it’s still too hard to let you go
As long as I don’t say, «Goodbye» my heart will never know
