hello my old heart

7.24.2016

Hello my old heart How have you been Are you still there inside my chest? I've been so worried You've been so still Barely beating at all Oh, don't leave me here alone Don't tell me that we've grown For having loved a little while Oh, I don't want to be alone I want to find a home And I want to share it with you Hello my old heart It's been so long Since I've given you away And every day I add another stone To the walls I built around you To keep you safe Hello my old heart How have you been? How is it, being locked away? Well don't you worry In there, you're safe And it's true, you'll never beat But you'll never break Nothing lasts forever Some things aren't meant to be But you'll never find the answer Until you set your old heart free

With many thanks to the Oh Hellos for writing my heart. Working on setting you free, dear old heart. (Have a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKNwx82kPjY)
