Lyrics
Holding on to My Heart
Mary Ann Frazier
c.2004
You say the right things
at just the right time.
You know what to do
and treat me so fine.
But somehow
I just can?t be sure.
You come too close and I back away.
Give it a chance, so easy to say.
But you know I?ve been very hurt, so:
Chorus:
I?m holding on to my heart,
won?t give it away this time.
I?m holding on to my heart
until I know you?re mine.
It was a game, but I didn?t know.
I gave him my heart
and then he let go.
And I paid for being naïve.
Now I might seem cold,
my distance is clear.
But I feel so much
whenever you?re near.
It?s just that I?m still sensitive, so:
Chorus
Bridge:
Won?t give love away,
I?ve done that before
I need to know for sure.
You mean what you say,
it?s not just a game,
and your intention?s pure.
Chorus
