You took my heart in your hand
And you just walked away
You didn't even say goodbye

Now I'm standing alone
But if the truth be known
I'm not made to be free
It's not easy for me
But I try

I need to fall in love again
Fill up this emptiness within
But every time I try to begin
I can't find a place to start
You still hold my heart

I'm hurting inside
And there's nowhere to hide
When the pain comes around
I swear the clock slows down at night

Next time
I hope when I run into love
It won't walk away
'Cause I'll know what to say

I need to fall in love again
Fill up this emptiness within
But every time I try to begin
I can't find a place to start
You still hold my heart

You hold it in your hands
Let it go
'Cause I need to fall in love again
Fill up this emptiness within

But every time I try to begin
I can't find a place to start
You still hold my heart
You still hold my heart
