Hold Me Here

Hold me here, and show me how
To learn the things, I should know by now
Brick by brick I’ll build a wall
To keep you out, and forget it all
Please be my valentine

Glasses are foggy, the path isn’t clear
Heart of adventure, a head full of fear
Split like a book, we had divided
You became Judas, the one I confided

Hold me here, and show me how
To learn the things, I should know by now
Brick by brick I’ll build a wall
To keep you out, and forget it all
Please be my valentine
Please be my valentine
Please be my valentine
Please be my valentine

The lyrics embedded, inked into my side
Pain now has surfaced; I can’t keep inside
Box of letters, poems she wrote
Words were so simple, now caught in my throat

A poet can’t talk, writes about scarlet cheeks
Scars on her skin all the places I’ve been
Time moves on, but my watch is broke
Her hearts an election, I don’t get a vote

Fields in summer, eyes followed the breeze
Laughing like kids, we fell to our knees
Your eyes were oceans, my heart the moon
I moved the tides, our love filled with gloom

I’ve got a sickness, there is no end
It went terminal, when you said let’s be friends
My love’s a disease, and you are the cure
I’m hopeful on new year’s, Maybe this year

Hold me here,  and show me how
To learn the things, I should know (Know, know, know, know, know)
I clipped your wings, but you still soar
Stubborn shoes, take me to your door
At the payphone, I try not to call
I brace myself, for how hard I’ll fall
Please be my valentine
Please be my valentine
Please be my valentine
Please be my valentine
