Heartstrings - Jacob Lee

Keep my heart inside your hands

Beating, leave it in your grasp

Keep it, it’s yours to understand

Breaking, slipping through like sand

I’ve taken my heart out

'Cause it don’t beat the same no more

I’ve zipped my mouth shut

'Cause my words don’t mean much at all

I’m gonna lay down

Until I fade out

I’ll go to sleep now

Don’t lie to yourself, no

I’m gonna wake up

And I’ll stay up

And wonder why I’m lying on your pillow

Keep my thoughts inside your hands

Mould them, they’re yours to comprehend

I’ve taken my lungs out

'Cause you are the air I breathe

To find out that her heart

Beats fine without me

I’m gonna lay down

Until I fade out

I’ll go to sleep now

Don’t lie to yourself, no

I’m gonna wake up

And I’ll stay up

And wonder why I’m lying on your pillow

My body feels cold

In the night when you’re so warm

When you stole the sheets on the sixteenth

I remember when you said

«The night no longer feels as dark»

And my body feels cold

In the night when you’re so warm

When you couldn’t sleep on the twenty-fifth

I remember when you said

«The night has never felt so dark»

I’m gonna lay down

Until I fade out

I’ll go to sleep now

I’ll go to sleep now

I’m gonna wake up

And I’ll stay up

And wonder why I’m lying on your pillow

I’m gonna lay down

Until I fade out

I’ll go to sleep now

Don’t lie to yourself, no

I’m gonna wake up

And I’ll stay up

And wonder why I’m lying on your pillow

And my body feels cold

In the night when you’re so warm

When you couldn’t sleep on the twenty-fifth

I remember when you said

«The night has never felt so dark»
