Please hold up my heart
Give me a reason for this empty silence
Your here but you seem so far
Why did you run away from me
Is it because I'm not as pretty as I use to be
Oh like a picture on a wall
Should have known that I was bound to fall

So please hold up my heart
Give me a reason for this this empty silence
Please hold up my heart
Darlin' I am changin'
But everybody's changin' too

When I am weak
I try to always find the best of you and me
Mm but I will always be the one
Who understands you like a picture on the wall
Should have known that I was bound to fall

So please hold up my heart
Give me a reason for this empty silence
Please hold up my heart
Darlin' I am changin'
But everybody's changin' too

We shared hope
We shared life
We shared kisses by the fire
And I will always be the one who understands you

So please hold up my heart
Give me a reason for this empty silence
Please hold up my heart
Give me a reason for this empty silence
Please hold up my heart
Darlin' I am changin'
But everbody's changin' too

Darlin' I am changin'
But everybody's changin' too
