If I Knew How to Hold You - Andrew Belle

You didn’t know your own heart

Or how it might fit

I’m in the house that you grew up in, where you

Gave me it

Where your brother read books

While your sister slept in

And where we laughed over imitations on the internet

How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying

How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying

How many words have I wrote down without saying it

If I knew how to hold you I would

You said it makes you feel small

That your heart is so big

But you just gave a piece for some kind of

Counterfeit

Now the sun has gone down

On a road that we chose

You know your words are a light, you should

Lead with those

How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying

How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying

How many words have I wrote down without saying it

If I knew how to hold you I would

Sure deliverance

Lives through heartache

What a difference your new start made

Will you open up your windows

I could hold you now

Your deliverance

For a namesake

What a difference that a day made

Will you open all your windows

I could hold you now

How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying

How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying

How many words have I wrote down without saying it

If I knew how to hold you I would

If I knew how to hold you I would
