Seams of My Heart

I wish that I could tell you how I really feel
When I try to take.
Everything seems so special.
Nothing can be lost.
I’ve got to hold it all together in my arms.

‘Cause I can’t seem to reach you where you are.
You’ve grown into my dreams.
You’re sewn into the seams of my heart.

I’m broken like a bone beneath your pain,
But you’d give anything without a price.
Well I can’t give that freely,
I’m so empty and so cold. I think I need someone to hold.

‘Cause I can’t seem to reach you where you are.
You’ve grown into my dreams.
You’re sewn into the seams of my heart.
If you took away from me
Everything I’d always had, I’d just say,
“That’s ok. I didn’t want it anyway.”
But that’s just a game I play.

‘Cause I can’t seem to reach you where you are.
You’ve grown into my dreams.
You’re sewn into the seams of my heart.
So I’ll fold for you my feelings and my thoughts
On what is practical, but just for now.
And you must say what I must hear,
And I’ll believe you, but I’ll still feel fear.
I still fear.

‘Cause I can’t seem to reach you where you are.
You’ve grown into my dreams.
You’re sewn into the seams of my heart.
No, I can’t seem to reach you where you are.
You’ve grown into my dreams.
You’re sewn into the seams of my heart.
