If my heart could speak
Yunna Serene
I've been holding onto love
Like it's slipping through my hands
You don't see the way I break
Whenever you don't understand
I've been strong for everybody
But for you I fall apart
'Cause you're the only one I let
That close into my heart
Late nights, quiet cries
Trying not to call your phone
Wondering if you'd even care
To know I'm feeling all alone
Your name feels heavy on my tongue
But I still whisper it
'Cause loving you is something
That my soul can't quit
And I hate that you don't hear me
When I'm screaming silently
But you're the only one I dream of
Even when it's killing me
If my heart could speak
It'd tell you how it breaks before it beats
How every moment with you cuts me deep
But I still choose you even when it hurts to breathe
If my heart could speak
It'd beg you not to walk away from me
I'm trying but you're all I ever need
Baby, if my heart could speak
I've been trying to pretend
That I don't feel you slipping out
But every time you pull away
My hope gets smaller, filled with doubt
I just want to love you right
But I keep losing pieces too
Trying to hold myself together
While I'm holding onto you
I give you all the softness
That nobody ever gave to me
But you don't see the woman breaking
Right behind the loyalty
If loving you is losing me
Then why do I still stay
Maybe 'cause your love's the only place
I've ever felt okay
And I hate that I still need you
When you barely notice me
But my heart keeps calling for you
Even in my hardest weeks
If my heart could speak
It'd tell you how it breaks before it beats
How every moment with you cuts me deep
But I still choose you even when it hurts to breathe
If my heart could speak
It'd beg you not to walk away from me
I'm trying but you're all I ever need
Baby, if my heart could speak
Maybe I should let you go
But I don't know how to love slow
You're the only home I've known
Even when it hurts my soul
And if you heard the things I hide
You'd know I'm losing sleep at night
Praying you don't change your mind
Praying you don't say goodbye
If my heart could speak
It'd tell you how it breaks before it beats
How every moment with you cuts me deep
But I still choose you even when it hurts to breathe
If my heart could speak
It'd beg you not to walk away from me
I'm trying but you're all I ever need
Baby, if my heart could speak
