I wake in the morning, tired of sleeping Get in the shower, and make my bed alone I put on my makeup, talk into 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 Keepin' you off my mind But when I think I'll be alright I am always wrong, cause 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 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 I'm almost, never, afraid now But when I think I'll be okay I am always wrong, cause 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 Sometimes I'll 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 (my hands) No they don't wanna understand They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find My hands, your hands, they don't wanna be without your hands No 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 be without your hands And they will not let me go No they will not let me go No, no, no they will not let me go Mmm
