"Hold It Out" lyrics

"Hold It Out"

Darling I'm not gonna beg for you
I'm not crawling on my hands for you
Even though you want me to
Make it last, make it last
Darling I'm not gonna fight for you
I don't even think you want me to
Cause if I was right for you
You wouldn't ask, wouldn't ask

We keep getting lost
Maybe we should just face it
We were just a stop
Not the destination

So darling put it back in your chest
I am giving your heart a rest
But you just hold it out
Yeah you just hold it out
Think you gave it away too fast
And I need you to take it back
But you just hold it out
Yeah you just hold it out

Yeah you just hold it, it out
Yeah you just hold it, it out

I could tell you I'm sweet for you
That my knees go weak for you
That my body breathes for you
And no one else, no one else
But it just don't work that way
Doesn't matter what I do or say
Cause I know that you were made
For someone else, someone else

We keep getting lost
Maybe we should just face it
We were just a stop
Not the destination

So darling put it back in your chest
I am giving your heart a rest
But you just hold it out
Yeah you just hold it out
Think you gave it away too fast
And I need you to take it back
But you just hold it out
Yeah you just hold it out

Yeah you just hold it, it out
Yeah you just hold it, it out

It was a beautiful thing we thought
A beautiful thing we caught
But even the perfect
And the most worth it
Beautiful things get lost

It was a beautiful thing we thought
A beautiful thing we caught
But even the perfect
And the most worth it
Beautiful things get lost

So darling put it back in your chest
I am giving your heart a rest
But you just hold it out
Yeah you just hold it out
Think you gave it away too fast
And I need you to take it back
But you just hold it out
Yeah you just hold it out

Yeah you just hold it, it out
Yeah you just hold it, it out
