Not Giving My Heart Away

[Verse 1]
This dress that you used to love
Hanging on a hook it reminds me of
The first night we danced to that Wilco song
But now it waits like a broken phone
Not knowing it’s been left alone
While the rest of the world moves on and on

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And even now
It hangs empty, you’re not around
I can’t take it down
My body won’t move until my will is found

[Chorus]
And even if I save myself
And get out from under this shell
Might make my life a living hell
But I'll never go back again
Not gonna focus on it anymore
Doesn’t matter what it was before
Nothing I can say that will make her stay
'Cause I'm not giving my heart away

[Verse 2]
The leaves come falling and I think about
All those times you took me out
The cold rain foreshadowed how it could go wrong
I need you to complete my day
Convince myself it will go away
How did it work before you came along

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And even though
It’s a memory that kills me so
I must say no
So I decide to let it go

[Chorus]
And even if I save myself
And get out from under this shell
Might make my life a living hell
But I'll never go back again
Not gonna focus on it anymore
Doesn’t matter what it was before
Ain't nothing I can say that will make her stay
'Cause I'm not giving my heart away

[Bridge: Rob Benedict, Jason Manns & both]
Resurfacing face the day
And feel the light on my face
A little bit of grace
Rebounding, life resetting
Feel the kick in my step
Releasing you from my space
Find it in my heart
I’ve found my way

[Chorus]
And even if I save myself
And get out from under this shell
Might make my life a living hell
But I'll never go back again
Not gonna focus on it anymore
Doesn’t matter what it was before
There's nothing I can say that will make her stay
'Cause I'm not giving my heart away
Away
Away
