To Whoever Holds My Heart Next

To whoever holds my heart next, Take me as I am, not a replacement, not a fix i've been strong, yeah, i know that part, I'm resilient I pick myself up, after I fall apart, and people have always admired that in me but I don't want applause for a breaking heart, I just want someone gentle from the start hold me like you're not afraid of tomorrow Choose me like it's not a burden Stay, even through the hard times, let go of the past, not because you promised forever, but because today feels right enough to begin again love me for who I am, not who I could be someday, hold me with care, stand beside me when no one else is there and I will love you through it all For as long as my heart remembers how to beat Beyond time, Beyond breath, Beyond everything I will still be yours even when I am gone
