Lyrics

Sometimes the hole you left hurts my heart So bad, it cuts through the deepest parts of me And fills up my mouth with that words that cry How I'm still trying to stay inside Hearts break and hands wave To make us grow fonder Then our eyes cry and souls sigh So that we know that it hurts Our hearts break and hands wave To make us grow fonder Then our eyes cry and souls sigh So that we know that it hurts Every now and then my memories ache With the empty ideas of the ones we'd made But as time goes on and my age gets older I love the ones I know, they're enough to picture the rest 'Cause heart break and hands wave To make us grow fonder Then our eyes cry and souls sigh So that we know that it hurts Our hearts break and hands wave To make us grow fonder Then our eyes cry and souls sigh So that we know that it hurts   You know when to make me, imagine you're here You know when to make me, imagine you're here You know when to make me, imagine you're here You know when to make me, imagine you're here
