Hands On My Heart

[Verse 1]

I left the door half open

You said you'd just be five

Dinner went cold in the kitchen

My pride went quiet inside

I keep tracing your name

In the steam on the bathroom glass

Pretend you're in the hallway

Pretend you're coming back

[Chorus]

You got your hands on my heart

But you're holding it careless

Every beat in the dark

Screaming

"Please don't forget this" (please)

If you're gonna leave

Then break me clean

Don't drag me through the in‑between

You got your hands on my heart

I'm begging you

Be gentle

[Verse 2]

I wear your old grey sweater

Like it's some kind of proof

Talk to the empty pillow

Like I'm still next to you

Friends say I'm finally glowing

They don't see the sleepless eyes

I laugh like I'm over it

Then crumble in the night

[Chorus]

You got your hands on my heart

But you're holding it careless

Every beat in the dark

Screaming

"Please don't forget this" (don't forget)

If you're gonna leave

Then break me clean

Don't drag me through the in‑between

You got your hands on my heart

I'm begging you

Be gentle

[Bridge]

Tell me I'm crazy

I'll take it

Just don't say we're "better as friends"

Kiss me and mean it or break it

I can't keep bleeding like this

I would rather shatter

Than slowly disappear

Say you want me

Or say you're done here (oh)

[Chorus]

You got your hands on my heart

But you're holding it careless

Every beat in the dark

Screaming

"Please don't forget this" (please don't)

If you're gonna leave

Then break me clean

Don't drag me through the in‑between

You got your hands on my heart

I'm begging you

Be gentle

(I'm begging you, be gentle)
