Count a Heart

(album: Late Night Tales: Jordan Rakei - 2021)

I said it like a friend to you
But that ain't how I wanted to
Those three lonely little words
Can fly away like little birds
You can count a heart in hurts

I'm picking at my nails again
And you know how I feel, and you know why I'm hesitating
I have loved and I have learned
From pretty boys and pretty girls
Of how to count a heart in hurts

Oh, you went quiet, so I just went quiet too
I shoulda said something, but you coulda said something, too

Let me be that one for you, darling
Let me be that one that you hold onto
You've got to hold onto us good
Let me be that one for you, darling

Seems I'm back to my old ways again
Tryna hide this loving gaze again
We're just dancing out of turn
When we kiss goodbye, it burns
You can count a heart in hurts

Oh, you went quiet, so I just went quiet too
I shoulda said something, but you coulda said something, too

Let me be that one for you, darling
Let me be that one that you hold onto
You've got to hold onto us good
Let me be that one for you, darling

Let me be that one for you, darling
Let me be that one that you hold onto
Let me be that one for you, darling
Let me be that one that you hold onto
Let me be that one for you, darling
Let me be that one for you, darling
