When I left your house the first time
I had this feeling like I left something behind
I check both of my pockets, had my keys and my wallet
And my necklace and my phone
How am I missing something that I didn't know existed like a week ago?

When I kissed your lips the first time
I had this feeling like I left something behind
I spent eighteen months thinking I was messed up
And I'd never learned to let it go
Now here you are, shaking the fear
That love could only ever be what I've already known

I say the right thing, it's kind of my thing
Losing myself trying to fix everything
It shifts from my past, I know you get that
It's just what I learned and all that I've had

Love don't work if I don't hold it together
It all gets worse if I don't hold it together
And I'm afraid to love this way forever
I wanna let you know me ways I never would have let her
Take my heart and we can hold it together

This is nothing like the first time
You don't remind me of a thing
And we both got memories
But when you're next to me, all that I see
Is you in front of me
I say the right thing, it's kind of my thing
Losing myself trying to fix everything

Love don't work if I don't hold it together
It all gets worse if I don't hold it together
And I'm afraid to love this way forever
I wanna let you know me ways I never would have let her
Take my heart and we can hold it together

Could this work if I don't hold it together?
Of all my habits I just like you better
I wanna let you know me ways I never would have let her
Take my heart and we can hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
