One Honest Answer

Verse 1

You're standing at the door half in

Fingers curled around the frame

I've been reading every pause you give

Like a sentence with no name

Pre-Chorus

So say it plain

Say it slow

Is it me or the leaving you want

Chorus

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

I can take the quiet

I can take the cold

But I can't take the not-knowing

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

Verse 2

We used to fight about the small things

Now we only fight to breathe

You keep your jacket on the far chair

Like you're halfway out the door and free

Pre-Chorus

So say it now

Say it true

Is the silence yours or mine to hold

Chorus

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

I can take the quiet

I can take the cold

But I can't take the not-knowing

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

Bridge

I'm not asking you to stay forever

I'm not asking you to swear

I'm just asking for one honest answer

Then I'll meet you anywhere

Chorus

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

I can take the quiet

I can take the cold

But I can't take the not-knowing

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go

Outro

Tell me I should hold your hand

Or tell me just to let go
