EDN - Hand-me-down Heart Lyrics

My mama said
It's okay if you wanna
Give your heart away
But I've learned to play it safe
My mama said
I shouldn't wait
Until I'm old and gray
Yet still I hesitate
Show kindness to all
It's a gift not a curse to fall
Give grace, and expect none
These lessons that I've learned
Reach out only to get burned
Fell away, the second I saw you

I'll hold out, one last time
The hope I keep inside
The patchwork is falling apart
Cause I've got a hand me down heart
It's bleeding, yet always whole
I mean it, just want a hand to hold
Hold hold on to
My hand me down heart

Was unexpected
Yet I'm not surprised
When you walked in with those eyes
It Just about leapt out of my chest
Yet I deflected
I was paralyzed
By all the butterflies
Guess you already know the rest
Took a leap, and told you how
Lovely you look right now
You just laughed and shook your head
Never guessed it'd be this easy
To hand it over, give so freely
Never thought heaven would sound like that
So

I'll hold out, one last time
The hope I keep inside
The patchwork is falling apart
Cause I've got a hand me down heart
It's bleeding, yet always whole
I mean it, just want a hand to
Hold hold hold on to
My hand me down heart

A hand me down heart
Given to me
From all that I've been through
A hand me down heart
Only ask you treat it gently
I'd like to hand it over to you

I'll hold out, one last time
The hope I keep inside
The patchwork is falling apart
Cause I've got a hand me down heart
It's bleeding, yet always whole
I mean it, just want a hand to hold
Hold hold on to
My hand me down heart
