She stands elicited with fear She holds a heart in her hands So fragile, so loving It's glorious It's the most delicate thing she will ever hold. He trusted her with it. He handed it to her and said /keep it safe/ So she did She held her own heart in her left hand And with her right She took his heart and put it where hers used to be He had his hands out for hers But she was still holding onto it. Holding on like you would In the middle of a hurricane. Holding on like death was at your door And you were trying to sneak out the back Holding on because She was frightened But she looked in those eyes A sky full of blue Full of hope and something she didn't know And she held out her heart But she was still frightened, still scared. Afraid, afraid he'd throw it... But, He didn't. He took it as careful as possible and put it where his used to be. They had one another's hearts. And for once, Neither one of them were shattered.

To the Careful Ones
She stands elicited with fear She holds a heart in her hands So fragile, so loving It's glorious It's the most delicate thing she will ever hold. He trusted her with it. He handed it to her and said /keep it safe/ So she did She held her own heart in her left hand And with her right She took his heart and put it where hers used to be He had his hands out for hers But she was still holding onto it. Holding on like you would In the middle of a hurricane. Holding on like death was at your door And you were trying to sneak out the back Holding on because She was frightened But she looked in those eyes A sky full of blue Full of hope and something she didn't know And she held out her heart But she was still frightened, still scared. Afraid, afraid he'd throw it... But, He didn't. He took it as careful as possible and put it where his used to be. They had one another's hearts. And for once, Neither one of them were shattered.
