Say you don't love me
My heart has heard worse
It's not like you need to hear it
But I'll tell you with every verse
They say it's harder when the cut is fresh
But it's the broken bones I remember
They say you weren't the best
But you made this broken man feel better
(When you left, oh)
(When you left)
I was left between a forest fire
You were there, you were calling me out
When I leave, you started screaming: Hold me down
As if the rain didn't know that I was leaving
'Cause when the Heavens cry, nobody makes a sound
And every step, I hear you calling: Hold me down
Yeah, hold me down
Hold me
You say you need no one
Your time is gold to give
It's not like you need to hear it
But it's a lonely way to live
They say that love is blind and fair in war
The reason why I can't remember
Is it the brightest light
That keeps the shadows far from pleasure?
(When you left, oh)
(When you left)
I was left between a forest fire
You were there, you were calling me out
When I leave, you started screaming: Hold me down
As if the rain didn't know that I was leaving
'Cause when the Heavens cry, nobody makes a sound
And every step, I hear you calling: Hold me down
Yeah, hold me down
Hold me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Heaven knows I'm not worthy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With every step, I'm, with every step, I'm gone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was left between a forest fire
You were there, you were calling me out
When I leave, you started screaming: Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
