The one who came before you was unkind
And climbed into the dark side of my mind
A thousand miles, a thousand tears
A waste of all those precious years
Weary as I loved him from afar

Hand over, hand over my heart
Hand over, hand over my heart

Considered gently pushing you away
When I found you wanted me to stay
You took away my tendency do wrongs

Hand over, hand over my heart
Hand over, hand over my heart
Hand over, hand over my heart
Hand over, hand over my heart

Loving someone is a choice to make
So walk me down the hardest roads we take
You can have my hand and be my home
I swear that if I'm breathing you won't ever be alone

I promise with my

Hand over, hand over my heart
Hand over, hand over my heart
Hand over, hand over my heart
Hand over, hand over my heart
