My Hands

[Verse 1]

I wake in the morning

Tired of sleeping

Get in the shower

And make my bed alone

I put on my make up

Talking to the mirror

Ready for a new day

Without you

And I walk steady on my feet

I talk; my voice obeys me

I go out at night

Sleep without the lights

And I do all of the things I have to

Keeping you off my mind

But when I think I'll be alright

I am always wrong, 'cause...

[Chorus]

(My hands)

Don't wanna start again

(My hands)

No, they don't wanna understand

(My hands)

They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find

(My hands)

They only agree to hold

(Your hands)

And they don't wanna be without

(Your hands)

And they will not let me go

No, they will not let me go

[Verse 2]

I talk about you now

And go a day without crying

I go out with my friends now

I stay home all alone

And I don't see you everywhere

And I can say your name easily

I laugh a bit louder

Without you

And I see different shades now

And I, I'm almost never afraid now

But when I think I'll be okay

I am always wrong, 'cause...

[Chorus]

(My hands)

Don't wanna start again

(My hands)

No they don't wanna understand

(My hands)

They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find

(My hands)

They only agree to hold

(Your hands)

No, they don't wanna be without

(Your hands)

And they will not let me go

No, they will not let me go

[Bridge]

Sometimes I wake

I see them reaching out for you

Quietly break

Whatever shields I spent so long building up

I cannot fake

'Cause when they cry, I'm unspoken

They miss holding my baby

My hands

No, they don't wanna understand

They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find

[Chorus]

(My hands)

(Your hands)

They don't wanna be without

(Your hands)

And they will not let me go

No, they will not let me go

(My hands)

Don't wanna start again

(My hands)

No, they don't wanna understand

(My hands)

They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find

(My hands)

They only agree to hold

(Your hands)

No, they don't wanna be without

(Your hands)

And they will not let me go

No, they will not let me go

[Outro]

No, no

No, they will not let me go
