Paroles[]
- Hah-ahh, mmm
- I wake in the mornin’, tired of sleepin’
- Get in the shower and make my bed alone
- I put on my makeup, talk into the mirror
- Ready for a new day without you
- And I walk steady on my feet
- I talk, my voice obeys me
- I go out at night, sleep without the lights
- And I do all of the things I have to
- Keepin’ you off my mind
- But when I think I’ll be alright,
- I am always wrong ‘cause
- (My hands) Don’t wanna start again
- (My hands) No, they don’t wanna understand
- (My hands) They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
- (My hands) They only agree to hold
- (Your hands) And they don’t wanna be without
- (Your hands) And they will not let me go
- No, they will not let me go
- I talk about you now and go a day without crying
- I go out with my friends now, I stay home late alone
- And I don’t see you everywhere, and I can say your name easily
- I laugh a little louder without you
- And I see different shades now (And I)
- I’m almost never afraid now
- But when I think I’ll be okay
- I am always wrong ‘cause
- (My hands) Don’t wanna start again
- (My hands) No, they don’t wanna understand
- (My hands) They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
- (My hands) They only agree to hold
- (Your hands) No, they don’t wanna be without
- (Your hands) And they will not let me go
- No, they will not let me go
- Sometimes I wake, I see them reaching out for you
- Quietly breakin’ whatever shields I spent so long building up
- I cannot fake, ‘cause when they cry I’m unspoken
- They miss holdin’ my baby, ohh-ohh-ohhh
- My hands (Hah-ahh)
- No, they don't wanna understand
- They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
- (My hands)
- (Your hands)
- They don't wanna be without
- (Your hands) And they will not let me go
- No they will not let me go
- (My hands) Don’t wanna start again
- (My hands) No, they don’t wanna understand (No, yeah)
- (My hands) Shake and try to break whatever peace I may find (Ohh)
- (My hands) Only agree to hold
- (Your hands) No, they don’t wanna be without (They don’t wanna be without)
- (Your hands) And they will not let me go
- No, they will not let me go, la-la-la
- No, they will not let me go, mmm
