"Hold It Together" lyrics

When I left your house the first time
I had this feeling like I'd left something behind
I checked both of my pockets, had my keys and my wallet, had my necklace and my phone
How am I missin something that I didn't know existed like a week ago?

When I kissed your lips the first time
I had this feeling like I'd left something behind
I spent eighteen months thinking I was messed up and I'd never learn to let it go
Now here you are shaking the fear that love could only ever be what I've already known

I say the right thing
It's kinda my thing
Losing myself tryna fix everything
It's shit from my past
I know you get that
It's just what I've learned
And all that I've had

Love don't work if I don't hold it together
It all gets worse if I don't hold it together
And I'm afraid to love this way forever
I wanna let you know me ways I never would've let her
Take my heart and we can hold it together

This is nothing like the first time
You don't remind me of a thing
And we both got memories, but when you're next to me all that I see
Is you in front of me

I say the right thing
It's kinda my thing
Losing myself tryna fix everything

Love don't work if I don't hold it together
It all gets worse if I don't hold it together
And I'm afraid to love this way forever
I wanna let you know me ways I never would've let her
Take my heart and we can hold it together

Could this work if I don't hold it together
Of all my habits I just like you better
I wanna let you know me ways I never would've let her
Take my heart and we can hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
