If You Could Hold My Heart (For Awhile)

Hurt is something I've lived with for a long long time
And your heart would feel it too if I had yours
And you had mine
Only I know what it takes to live
Since my soul has died
And to feel the pain running through my veins
You'd have to come inside of me

And if my heart could live inside of you for a little while
I'd watch you gather all your strength
Each time you tried to smile
And then in time you'd lose your mind
And cry just like a child
Yes the hurt you'd feel would be unreal
If you could hold my heart for awhile
Yes the hurt you'd feel would be unreal
If you could hold my heart for awhile
