Not Giving My Heart Away

This dress that you used to love

Hanging on a hook it reminds me of

The first night we danced to that Wilco song

But now it waits like a broken phone

Not knowing it’s been left alone

While the rest of the world moves on and on

And even now

It hangs empty, you’re not around

I can’t take it down

My body won’t move until my will is found

And even if I save myself

And get out from under this shell

Might make my life a living hell

But I'll never go back again

Not gonna focus on it anymore

Doesn’t matter what it was before

Nothing I can say that will make her stay

'Cause I'm not giving my heart away

The leaves come falling and I think about

All those times you took me out

The cold rain foreshadowed how it could go wrong

I need you to complete my day

Convince myself it will go away

How did it work before you came along

And even though

It’s a memory that kills me so

I must say no

So I decide to let it go

And even if I save myself

And get out from under this shell

Might make my life a living hell

But I'll never go back again

Not gonna focus on it anymore

Doesn’t matter what it was before

Ain't nothing I can say that will make her stay

'Cause I'm not giving my heart away

Resurfacing face the day

And feel the light on my face

A little bit of grace

Rebounding, life resetting

Feel the kick in my step

Releasing you from my space

Find it in my heart

I’ve found my way

And even if I save myself

And get out from under this shell

Might make my life a living hell

But I'll never go back again

Not gonna focus on it anymore

Doesn’t matter what it was before

There's nothing I can say that will make her stay

'Cause I'm not giving my heart away

Away

Away
