This was another brand new song written for a friend of Mel's. Also another song that Robbie switched to Guitar on and Paul switched to bass. First ever performance of this track.
Recorded live at the Shipwreck tavern. West Seattle Wa. 3-20-2010
lyrics
Once I held your heart
In my hands. In my hands
Once you held my mind
In your hands. In your hands
Once, the things you said
Cut through me
But you don't move me
Chorus:
With you always next to me
When Do I break down?
Once I held your heart
In my hands. In my hands
Once you held my life
In your hands. In your hands
This. This is not worth
The sacrifice. The sacrifice
(Repeat Chorus)
Once I had some time
To myself. To myself
