I left home when I was 17
Just to see if the grass was really green
4 years deep of things left behind
but you know I’ve got it all still on my mind
Bet you’ve already heard a song like this
One that ends in that perfect farewell kiss
But I won’t play that same old game
Not that flawless role we all seem to wanna play
In your hands my heavy heart
Nowhere to put all the shame
Give me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I love you now that you want me to
And that’s not something I usually do
Digging up the roots of this old oak tree
Is just a little harder than I thought it’d be
In your hands my heavy heart
Nowhere to put all the shame
Give me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I gave you the key to let yourself in
To that secret place nobody’s ever been
You peaked your head inside and looked around
I can only hope you won’t let me down
I don’t know if you see
Just how much you mean to me
So let me know what you find
In this sheltered heart of mine
In your hands my heavy heart
Nowhere to put all the shame
Give me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
