Featuring Bea Laszlo

lyrics

Tell me you're not afraid of love
I've got a lot to give, but I've just gotta know
If you'll push past the easy road
I wanna take it slow, but I don't want to
Give myself over with nothing to long for

I keep searching for warning signs
It's easier to stay where I'm frozen and safe
Where I don't have to let you in
To let you see the space where I hide
Cause I'm just done rebuilding
And I don't want to catch fire

I just wanna let you know
That you can let me go
Won't try to hold you down
Cause Lord knows I've tried and failed

But we can't live on fear alone
I see it in your smile, but it won't overcome
We could break through the borderline
Shake away the doubts that we've harbored
And choose to start over
But if you're not over

I want you to know
That you can let me go
Won't try to hold you down
Cause Lord knows I've tried and failed

Hold on to me
You can hold on to me
When your worries won't wait
When your words fade away

Hold on to me
You can hold on to me
When you stop seeing stars
Where you used to before

Hold on to me
(Just wanna let you know)
You can hold on to me
Hold on to me
(That you can let me go)
You can hold on to me
Hold on to me
(Won't try to hold you down)
You can hold on to me
Hold on to me
(Cause Lord knows I've tried and failed)
You can hold on to me

But I just wanna let you know
That you can let me go
Won't try to hold you down
Cause Lord knows I've tried and failed
