Heart Hold On

Sherri¨¦ Austin

(Steve Mandile/Sherrie Austin)



Staring out an open window

Breathing deep as the winds of change blow

Through my hair

Still he's never far behind me

Somehow he always finds me

No matter where

With one hand on my heart

And one foot in the door

He's reaching in and coming back for more

But don't you let go



Heart hold on 'til he's gone

Stand your ground before the damage has been done done

Once again you know all too well just how this story ends

Don't give in, don't you listen to those ghosts inside your head

Heart be still, heart be strong

Heart hold on



He sees what's inside me

Reads me like an open diary

He know's every line

I look away and close the curtain

The final act is still uncertain

But the next move is mine

It would be so easy

Just to let him in again

An old familiar face but he's no friend

Don't you let go



Heart hold on 'til he's gone

Stand your ground before the damage has been done done

Once again you know all too well just how this story ends

Don't give in, don't you listen to those ghosts inside your head

Heart be still, heart be strong

Heart hold on
