She was holding her heart
on a sunny day
She was holding her heart
It must've got away
It looked like it broke
and she saw the pieces fall
It looked like she picked them up
but couldn't get them all
She was holding her heart
on a rainy day
There were nothing but blue skies
but it rained anyway
Now I've heard people say
Don't trust a brokenhearted soul
Someone told me today
Don't trust a brokenhearted soul
I heard they'll take
your heart I'm told
They'll take the warmest heart
and turn it cold
I heard they'll take your heart
and trade it in for gold
They'll take every piece of their heart
and trade 'em in for wholes
She was holding her heart
on a rainy day
There were nothing but blue skies
but it rained anyway
And so I had her in mind
from so long ago
Once she touched my eyes
I'd never let her go
I had her in my mind
and in my heart I know
But I don't know when or how
she got in my soul
She was holding my heart
on a sunny day
From the first time I saw her
I was here to stay
But those who said it were right
We couldn't last for long
I thought since she's never seen right,
she wouldn't do me wrong
Those who said it were right
We didn't last for long
They said she couldn't do right
'cause she's only been wronged
She was holding my heart
on a rainy day
I did nothing but right
but she wronged me anyway
Now I was holding a frame
just the other day
I was holding our frame
It must've got away
It looked like it broke
I saw the pieces fall
I thought I picked them up
but I couldn't get them all
Now I want us smiling like
the photograph above
I want us smiling like
our photograph of love
Before the broken frame
fell off the wall
Before we woke in pain
When we had it all
Before we let today
slowly slip away
I want us smiling like
it was still yesterday
When she was holding her heart
on that rainy day
When there were nothing but blue skies
while it rained anyway
