Song Description

Upbeat piano pop ballad, theme of being vulnerable in relationships/love

Lyrics

Can I give you my heart, I promise it won't be forever
I just need you to hold it while I stitch it back together
It's not broken, it's just too open to leave
This is what happens when I wear it on my sleeve

Can you handle my heart, I can't promise it won't bleed
'Cause since I poured it all out to you, it's still liable to leak
It's not broken, it's just too open you see
This always seems to happen to me

Just hold it steady 'til I'm ready to take it back
I've got this all under control
It's just that I can't hold my heart and hold onto you as well

Can you watch over my heart, but nothing more than that
It doesn't need your protection, much less disconnection
Just allowances for what might spill out
It's not broken, it's just wide open for now
But in time I'll get this figured out

Just hold it steady 'til I'm ready to take it back
I've got this all under control
It's just that I can't hold my heart 'til I let you go

And you could say my heart betrays my
Lingering commitment to hope
Well okay, I guess
But what good is a heart that doesn't dare to dream?
And what good is a heart if it isn't bursting at the seams?

Can I trust you with my heart, it's the essence of me
I'm kinda new to this, still getting used to vulnerability
Can I give you my heart, I don't want to deceive
If you can bear it, I'll wear it on my sleeve
