One Grain of Sand is the second song on Pope’s album Atlanta.
This underlying theme of this song, is that no matter what he does for this girl, she does not love or accept him. He try’s everything in his power to get her to love him. Despite his efforts, she can not see this love that he has for he...
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
[Verse 1]
Oh, I used to treat you sweetly I would pull you to my chest as you cried about the ocean slipping quickly through your hands
You were searching for one grain of sand along an endless beach
As I was building you a castle that you just refused to see
[Pre-Chorus]
What do I say? What do I do?
To show all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you
What do I say? What do I do?
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
[Verse 2]
You have faded my reality like leaves that turn to dust
Fell asleep inside a fantasy and woke up feeling lost
Now I'm terrified and restless but I just cannot escape
I wish you had words to cool this fever that is killing me
[Pre-Chorus]
What do I say? What do I do?
To show all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you
What do I say? What do I do?
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
Oooh woah woah woah woah
Oooh woah woah woah woah
Oooh woah woah woah woah
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
