Count a Heart

I said it like a friend to you
But that ain’t how I wanted to
Those three lonely little words
Can fly away like little birds
You can count a heart in hurts
I’m picking at my nails again
And you know how I feel, and you know why I’m hesitating
I have loved and I have learned
From pretty boys and pretty girls
Of how to count a heart in hurts
Oh, you went quiet, so I just went quiet too
I should have said something, but you could have said something too
Let me be that one for you darling
Let me be that one that you hold on to
You get to hold on to us
Let me be that one for you darling
Seems I’m back to my old ways again
Trying to hide this loving gaze again
We’re just dancing out of turn
When we kiss goodbye, it burns
You can count a heart in hurts
Oh, you went quiet, so I just went quiet too
I should have said something, but you could have said something too
Let me be that one for you darling
Let me be that one that you hold on to
You got to hold tight to what’s good
Let be that one for you darling
Let me be that one for you darling
Let me be that one that you hold on to
Let me be that one for you darling
Let me be the one that you hold on to
Let me be that one for you darling
Let me be that one for you darling
