Take My Hand
KITCHEN - Zero 7 Lyrics

There's a part of me out there with you far from my mind
I have memories of us I can't shake, but I'm trying to forget and move on.

The histories we never shared I've erased out of sight
I'm trying to forget the times we never had together so I can move on from the past.

And though every part of me wants to stay with you
I still have feelings for you, but I'm not sure if we should be together.

I don't really know what I'm supposed to do
I'm confused about how to proceed with my feelings for you.

Because you
Referring to the person he's singing to, acknowledging their impact on his life.

You're not gonna go my way
You may not feel the same way about me, and it's causing me confusion and distress.

And ah, if you don't wanna take my hand
If you don't want to be with me or help me through this difficult time,

Yeah, then I'll turn to stone
I'll become emotionally numb and unfeeling, like a stone.

And I should've known that you're better off alone
Maybe I'm not good enough for you, and you're better off without me.

Yeah, now I'm turning to stone, to stone, to stone
I'm becoming more and more emotionally closed off and inaccessible.

Gotta find a way back in from the mess I made
I need to find a way to fix the mistakes I've made and get back to a good place between us.

I'm drowning in a paper bag of my own mistakes
I'm overwhelmed by the mess I've made, and it feels like I'm suffocating.

And now I can't find a way to get back to you
I'm struggling to reconnect with you and get back to a good place in our relationship.

Find a little space where we sit just two and I know
I crave a quiet, intimate moment with you to reconnect emotionally.

Yeah I need you to go my way
I want us to be together and have things work out between us, but I don't know how to achieve that.

And ah, if you don't want to hold this man
If you don't want to be with me or help me through this difficult time,

Oh, then I'll turn to stone
I'll become emotionally numb and unfeeling, like a stone.

Ah should've known that you're better off alone
Maybe I'm not good enough for you, and you're better off without me.

Yeah now I'm turning to stone, to stone
I'm becoming more and more emotionally closed off and inaccessible.

And ah, I don't think you'd know my name
I'm feeling so disconnected from you that I think you wouldn't even recognize me anymore.

'Cause you turned me to stone again
Your actions or lack of actions are causing me to shut down emotionally again.

To stone again
I'm becoming disconnected and emotionless again, like a stone.

And ah, if you don't wanna hold my hand
If you don't want to be with me or help me through this difficult time,

Yeah, guess I'll turn into stone
I'll become emotionally numb and unfeeling, like a stone.

And ah, if you don't really understand
If you don't understand my feelings, or if we're not on the same page,

Guess it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
I'll pretend like everything is okay, even though I'm feeling hurt and frustrated.
