Holding Hands

After many failed relationships and having difficulty in my relationship with Christ, I decided that I needed to first have a relationship with myself. That's what this song is about, learning to love myself.

Chorus
I want to sing sweetly
but the chords won't sing with me
I want to tell the truth
But fear keeps leading me
It's not that I don't love you
I really do
I'm just learning how to love
I don't mean to hurt you

Please see that I'm fighting for you
For our life together
It's taking all my strength to be here and sing the truth.
This is all I have to share
Broken heart and dreams
Please don't ask me to dream with you
This moment is much more than it seems

All I wish in these moments alone
Is that your hand and mine be one
But the bridge between us sometimes
Leaves me feeling cold and alone
Like nobody will ever walk across the water
To love me, Oh love me....
