You will hold my heart
I feel it in the way that we depart
Before you go, yeah
Loosen your hold, yeah
Not a day goes by
Where you don’t cross my mind and I
Forget to leave you
Where I found you
Now you’re looking at me
Asking without words
I can’t tell you yes
Until you say it first
And the secrets you keep
Holding from me
Feel like a killer
I carried you to the Pacific
Somehow I feel that we missed it
I wonder where you are
And what you’d say if you knew
I feel you in my routine
I feel you when you’re unseen
It was a matter of time
Until I came back to you
Now you’re looking at me
Asking without words
I can’t tell you yes
Until you say it first
And the secrets you keep
Holding from me
Feel like a killer
You hold me in the dark
We’re both playing our part
As we make our rounds
Like we’re on familiar ground
But the fools we play
As we decay
Feel like killers
I’m a fool, you see
The hold you have on me
You’re a killer
