"Hold My Heart" lyrics - 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
Because I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

[Chorus:]
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Because 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 things no words could ever do

[Pre-Chorus:]
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
Because I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

[Chorus:]
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Because I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
Because I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

[Chorus:]
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Because I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you
