I never thought that things could turn around so quickly
And never leave a trace of where we’ve been or where we’re going
I think I’ve crossed the line this time
A fantastic mistake to make us wonder why
We ever followed what they said
We should have chased our hearts instead
Broken stares, longing hearts
Moving along as we start, to ignore
These thoughts that keep us here
Hoping hands, reach so far
To find a way to begin
Baby, why do we hold love in?
Whispering words so softly into your lips
Hold this secret close to your chest before it slips
And fades away
Be sure to round up your reasons
While you deny the fact
You can never settle down
While your bags are still packed
Broken stares, longing hearts
Moving along as we start, to ignore
These thoughts that keep us here
Hoping hands, reach so far
To find a way to begin
Baby, why do we hold love in?
Now we’re alone, our feelings we cannot control
We’ve lost all our maps so darling where do we go?
How do we make it all okay?
Baby, just tell me what to say
What’s going in your head?
I just don’t know and it’s killing me I just need to know that this is real
You brought back something I lost in myself
I think I forgot how to feel
Please don’t, just don’t put me through hell
Don’t say, baby, don’t say this was never my place
Just take my hand and come back to me Broken stares, longing hearts
Moving along as we start, to ignore
These thoughts that keep us here
I don’t know why we wait
To say what’s on our minds
Why do we hold love in?
