Hold My Heart

I'm sure you noticed I can’t do without
I'm sure you noticed I get anxious when you’re not around
God knows I told you about the nightmares
God knows that was a mistake
I really don’t want you believing that you’re everything to me

I took your words and wrapped them round my heart
Never questioned your intentions
I just opened right up
I gave you everything from the very start
Maybe too much, too much comfort
When she broke your heart

Oh, you know just what to say
To make my knees collapse
Yeah those pleading eyes
Will have me running right back
Don’t know how many times that
You’ve torn me apart
You never cared
You’ve never known
How to hold my heart

It’s so pathetic
God, there’s so much shame
How I can sit here wanting more
After feeling this way
And you don’t see no problem
Don’t think it’s worth your time
Maybe one day I’ll find someone
With a love like mine

Oh, you know just what to say
To make my knees collapse
Yeah, those pleading eyes
Will have me running right back
Don’t know how many times that
You’ve torn me apart
You never cared
You’ve never known
How to hold my heart

So say the words that will make this better
Make all your promises that hold no water
If I give you the chance
I’ll lose all your respect
If I give you the chance
It’ll happen again

You might have noticed I won’t go without
I’ve worked too hard to love myself
To sit here and let you put me down
I gave forgiveness maybe one too many shots
I wish you cared
I wish you knew how to hold

My heart
