I Cried For An Old Love

I wanted to take you far away from here
But the cold lives inside of me
I gave you what was left of me
But I don't know how to feel

My hands shake when I get too close
My heart speaks way too low
I try to stay here in the moment
But the past won't let me go

I tried to save something inside
But everything in me broke
It wasn't that I didn't want to love
I loved too much, that's what took its toll

I cried for an old love
Until there was nothing left in me
Now I feel, but it's hollow
'Cause I already bled completely

I cried for an old love
Used my strength just to survive
If I don't know how to love you right
It's 'cause I gave it all without realizing

If someone hurts you, I'll stay
Even if I don't know how to fight
My voice is all that I have
'Cause my hands don't know how to try

I wanted to write something just for us
But all the words slipped away
Every promise that I ever made
Was for someone who didn't stay

I'm afraid to start again
And end up breaking once more
It's not that I don't want you
I just don't love like before

I cried for an old love
Until there was nothing left in me
Now I feel, but it's hollow
'Cause I already bled completely

I cried for an old love
Now I'm learning how to breathe
If I seem distant sometimes
It's 'cause I'm learning how to stay

If you stay
Even when I fail
Maybe I'll learn
How not to fall apart

I cried for an old love
But I still want to feel warmth
If I can't give you everything right now
It's 'cause I gave it all to another love
