If I Knew How to Hold You

You didn't know your own heart Or how it might fit I'm in the house that you grew up in, where you Gave me it Where your brother read books While your sister slept in And where we laughed over imitations on the internet How you long for me to find what you've been burying How your hands are too small for what they've been carrying How many words have I wrote down without saying it If I knew how to hold you I would You said it makes you feel small That your heart is so big But you just gave a piece for some kind of Counterfeit Now the sun has gone down On a road that we chose You know your words are a light, you should Lead with those How you long for me to find what you've been burying How your hands are too small for what they've been carrying How many words have I wrote down without saying it If I knew how to hold you I would Sure deliverance Lives through heartache What a difference your new start made Will you open up your windows I could hold you now Your deliverance For a namesake What a difference that a day made Will you open all your windows I could hold you now How you long for me to find what you've been burying How your hands are too small for what they've been carrying How many words have I wrote down without saying it If I knew how to hold you I would If I knew how to hold you I would
