Title: Lemonade Heart
Lyrics copyright © 2026 Don Bernard
He watches from the porch swing, sneakers on the rail,
She walks by laughing loud enough to tip the morning pale,
Sunlight in her hair like it was put there just for show,
And he pretends he doesn’t care, but he always seems to know.
Every step she takes, every word she throws,
He memorizes moments that she never even knows.
He says, “She’s overrated,” with a shrug and a grin,
But his voice gets quiet when her name slips in.
So he sips on sour grapes, makes lemonade lies,
Says he never liked her, while the truth dries his eyes,
He laughs a little louder when she walks by his street,
But his heart trips over every echo of her feet.
He acts like he’s above it, like he doesn’t care at all,
But he builds his little kingdom just to watch her never call.
She waves to everyone like the world’s her friend,
He looks away quick, like he didn’t just pretend.
Tells the guys at school she’s “not his type anyway,”
Then rewinds her smile in his head the whole day.
He rolls his eyes and mutters, “She’s not even that sweet,”
While tracing her name with his shoe in the concrete.
He jokes, “I’m doing fine, I don’t need her around,”
But silence gets louder than the jokes he’s found.
So he sips on sour grapes, makes lemonade lies,
Says he never liked her, while the truth dries his eyes,
He laughs a little louder when she walks by his street,
But his heart trips over every echo of her feet.
He acts like he’s above it, like he doesn’t care at all,
But he builds his little kingdom just to watch her never call.
Late at night, he whispers to the ceiling fan,
“Maybe if I’m louder, maybe if I’m grand,
Maybe if I’m hurting, she’ll finally see,”
But attention tastes bitter when it’s sympathy.
And the boy in the mirror looks smaller each day,
Drowning in the things he was too scared to say.
Sour grapes, sweet disguise,
Hiding heartbreak in sarcastic replies,
He says she’s just a girl, just another face,
But he circles her house like it’s sacred space.
So he sips on sour grapes, lets the bitterness stay,
Acts like he chose distance when she just looked away,
And he shouts to the world, “She was never that great,”
While quietly hoping she might hesitate.
But love unspoken turns sharp and small,
And the loudest cries are the ones that never call.
One day, he’ll laugh at the games he played,
At the armor of jokes and the shade he made,
But tonight he’s just a boy on a quiet street,
With a lemonade heart and a love incomplete.
