[Verse 1]
I see you in the room
And my chest goes quiet
You laugh like it's easy
I want that kind of light
You got steady hands
You got truth in your eyes
And every time you reach for me
I pull back and hide
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know what you are
Safe, sweet, and real
And that kind of good
Scares me more than I feel
I keep one foot out
When you come too close
But you keep on standing there
Like you already know
[Chorus]
Hold my heart
Don't let go
I'm halfway in
And halfway broke
Hold my heart
Make me stay
You'd be so good
If I weren't afraid
Hold my heart
Hold my heart
You'd be so good
If I weren't afraid
[Verse 2]
I've got old bad habits
From the last goodbye
I turn every maybe
Into a reason why
But you don't ask for perfect
You just ask me true
And that's the one thing
I don't know how to do
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know what you are
Safe, sweet, and real
And that kind of good
Scares me more than I feel
I keep one foot out
When you come too close
But you keep on standing there
Like you already know
[Chorus]
Hold my heart
Don't let go
I'm halfway in
And halfway broke
Hold my heart
Make me stay
You'd be so good
If I weren't afraid
Hold my heart
Hold my heart
You'd be so good
If I weren't afraid
[Bridge]
If I say yes
Then it's real
No more running
No more shields
So take me slow
Don't let me fall
If I'm gonna trust
I want it all
[Final Chorus]
Hold my heart
Don't let go
I'm halfway in
And halfway broke
Hold my heart
Make me stay
You'd be so good
If I weren't afraid
Hold my heart
Hold my heart
You'd be so good
If I weren't afraid
