Confessions

I cannot help but feel alone
When you sweep me off my feet
Your warmth, it soothes my sinful soul
By swapping nerves for deceit

I cannot help but feel weighed down
When I hold you in my arms
And my heart drops down from my chest to the ground
When you let go of my palm

And I can't let go
No, I can't let go
Hold your cards while I hold my tongue
No, I can't let go

I gave you shelter along with my soul
And I thought you did the same
And if you leave, I will not be whole
And I'll know that I am to blame

I cannot bear watching you walk away
When you've always been by my side
I can't listen to the voices in my head
My vulnerability will be my demise

I cannot help but feel alone
When you sweep me off my feet
Your warmth, it soothes my sinful soul
By swapping nerves for deceit

I'm on my knees hoping you'll understand
That begging forgiveness from a charlatan
Only keeps us dreaming of the cold
So let's stay in the days of old
Oh, keep me in the days of old
So keep me in the days of old
Oh, stay with me in the days of old
