Hold Your Hand

"No, not again", you said Your heart has been bruised One too many times I wait patiently With a first aid kit and a smile "That's fine I'll fix it As long as you hold mine" "I'm just a benchwarmer You better head home" Oh God, little did you know I'd run a mile So you don't have to sit alone I've never been a runner But for you I would Just give me a call Cause I even have a crush On the shape of your name on my phone I lose my voice cheering for you On your bad days and your good "I'll stay" I say "You don't have to sit alone" And to tell you, I don't think I ever could So I whisper under my breath "You're my idea of home" You move your hand away With no idea how a little flinch Could ever shatter a heart "They're too cold to hold", you say Of course I don't mind Cause I'd let you freeze my heart Even break it into bits Over a thousand times In storm, snow and drought To sit beside you, I ask for nothing more All I wanted was to hold your hand Didn't know it was too much to ask for
