hold my heart

Sara Bareilles

I never meant to be
The one to let you down
If anything, I thought
I saw myself going first
I didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but
Me be getting hurt...

I keep remembering the summer night
And the conversation breaking up the mood
I didn't want to tell you you were right
Like the season changing,
Oh, I felt it too...

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go too soon...

I want to tell you so before
The sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go of you...

I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is you've been
Hiding from it too
I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying everything no words could ever do...

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go too soon...

I want to tell you so before
The sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go of you...

Is anybody listening?
'Cause I'm crying
Is anybody listening?

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go too soon...

I want to tell you so before
The sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go of you...
