  • I never thought that You would be the one to hold my heart
    But you came around
    And you knocked me off the ground from the start

    You put your arms around me
    And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
    You put your arms around me and I'm home

    How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around
    I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

    I hope that you see right through my walls
    I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
    I'll never let a love get so close
    You put your arms around me and I'm home

    The world is coming down on me
    And I can't find a reason to be loved
    I never wanna leave you
    But I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

    You put your arms around me
    And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

    I hope that you see right through my walls
    I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
    I'll never let a love get so close
    You put your arms around me and I'm home

    I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
    And I've never opened up
    I've never truly loved 'till you put your arms around me
    And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

    I hope that you see right through my walls
    I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
    I'll never let a love get so close
    You put your arms around me and I'm home

    You put your arms around me and I'm home Writer/s: CHRISTINA PERRI, DAVID HODGES
