Held My Hands (My Secret Sin)

Ease your thoughts For I am at fault You stood alone Well I left home In my most troubling steps I sensed your worry, your passion your grace As only your soft touch could warm my face My only comfort was in your arms, a peaceful place Is the only sanctuary where time won't mourn And trust won't turn A sacrifice at your expense Left us both in suspence But it was your heart I had to convince Would you have held my hand I ask would you have my hand Shadows sing As the weak trade bread and water for anything The only place you felt feign Was the only place where your trust remains Nothing so cold as your shoulder shrugs Nothing told that you cared as your fervid hugs I'd say I loved you in vain But it would only sober up my pain Burning leaves The stress that lonliness guareentees I only ask would you have held my hand With me being so stubborn and arrogant Would you still stand and hold my hand Would you have shaped me into a better man Walked through conflict and still gripped my hand
