Lyrics

Heartbeats

[Verse 1]

Oh, I, I go back alone

And I keep wonder, oh

I go back alone

Do you want it?

[Pre-Chorus]

You

And I can't live my life now

Without you

And I can't think of all I wanna do

You only hated me

I gave you all of me

And I want to see

[Chorus]

I took a dare

I wasn't scared

I put my back into it

I know the past

I took a chance

And I can't waste it all on you

[Post-Chorus]

Hold me

Am I still alive? I wanna know, I wanna know

Hold me

Am I still alive? I wanna know

Hold me

Am I still alive? I wanna know

Hold me

Am I still alive? I wanna know

[Verse 2]

Oh, I go back alone

And I will leave behind

I go back alone

What do you want?

[Pre-Chorus]

You

And I can't live my life now

Without you

And I can't think of all I wanna do

You've only hated me

I gave you all of me

And I want you

[Chorus]

I took a dare

I wasn't scared

I put my back into it

I know the past

I took a chance

And I can't waste it all on you

[Post-Chorus]

Hold me

I wanna know, I wanna know

Hold me

I wanna know, I wanna know

Hold me

I wanna know, I wanna know
