I Hold My Hands Up

SONG DESCRIPTION

You’re probably like me...you just want to be happy in life. You want to do good things, support the people you love and get along without any troubles.

Sometimes though, no matter how hard I try, I end up making mistakes trying to do what I believe to be the ‘right thing’.

I think it’s important not to stop trying hard or chasing what you believe in, but to step back when you’ve messed up and acknowledge your mistakes.

So that you can reflect, learn, move on and continue to grow.

This song is about admitting responsibility to someone you truly love. It’s about acknowledging your mistakes and trying to be a better person to them.

If it’s something you relate to I hope it offers you some comfort. It’s called ‘I Hold My Hands Up’...

LYRICS

I Hold My Hands Up - Paul Hawksworth

V1

I found myself lost

For words I could say

It caught me off guard, the truth hit me hard

that I need to change

I’m not going to lie

It’s too hard to take

I see in your eyes, there’s a hurt, there’s a sign

you’re slipping away

Pre

A wake up call I have to take

Ch

I hold my hands up, I never meant to cause you pain

I’m here falling, sinking in my mistakes

I’m choking up I was blind, but I can change

I’m here in the cold light of day

I’ve had my heart shut, I hold my hands up

V2

I get sucked in

This whitewater life

Blind to the hurt, to the stress, to the weight

I laid on your life

Pre

A bitter pill I have to take

Ch

I hold my hands up, I never meant to cause you pain

I’m here falling, sinking in my mistakes

I’m choking up I was blind, but I can change

I’m here in the cold light of day

I’ve had my heart shut, I hold my hands up

Br

I try to will the hands of time

Back to where they were before I stepped out of line

There’s nothing more I need to see

Than the pieces of us back where they used to be

Ch

I hold my hands up, I never meant to cause you pain

I’m here falling, sinking in my mistakes

I’m choking up I was blind, but I can change

I’m here in the cold light of day

I’ve had my heart shut, I hold my hands up

I’ve had my heart shut, I hold my hands up
