I can't afford this heart
Still I am responsible
If it will fall apart
Believe me, I don't want to go

You won't believe it's true
When I tell you 'bout my feelings
And what you're supposed to do
I'm sorry, but I don't want to go

But baby, I tell ya
My heart was freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking

Maybe you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
But do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand
I have to let go of your hand

And then you believed in me
You took me by my hand
And told me that I made you free
I need you
I need you to know

As always I just can't cry
And I don't know the answer
But I've always wondered why
Today, I know, today

'Cause baby, I tell ya
My heart was freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking

Maybe, you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
Do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand
I have to let go

I would like to believe you were right
And if I told you
Would you go there tonight

'Cause baby, I tell ya
My heart was freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking

Maybe, you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
But do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand

'Cause baby, I tell ya
My heart was freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking

Maybe, you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
But do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand
I have to let go of your hand

I have to let go of your hand, yeah

I can't afford this heart
Still I am responsible
If it will fall apart
Believe me, I don't want to go
