lyrics

Take your hand

Here, far away from everything
where no one can hear me sing
is where the words just seem to pour out of my heart
And now, when there’s nothing left to lose
it’s so much easier to choose
what is right to do for everone else

I couldn’t find the time
To honestly be fine
There’re always reasons not to go inside
I couldn’t find the words
To tell you where it hurts
And let you close enough to touch my heart

This isn't easy for me
I’m trying hard to break free
Old habits die hard and I know I’m headstrong but I
will take your hand this time

Years of pretending to be strong
Surely nothing was ever wrong
When I obviously needed a shoulder
Alone, feeling like I don’t belong
Always leaving everyone
Who was trying just to love all of me…

I couldn’t find a way
To trust the words you’d say
I’d roll my eyes and fight you ‘til you’d give up

But this isn't easy for me
I’m trying hard to break free
Old habits die hard and I know I’m headstrong but I
will take your hand this time

I won’t push you away

This isn't easy for me
I’m trying hard to break free
Old habits die hard and I know I’m headstrong but I
will take your hand this time
