Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The air was cold
But she swore, that she didn't notice
'Cause this was better than she felt in a long time, not quite love but it sure felt nice, there on the grass sitting close to his side
Listening to his heart keep time and watching the light die

The sky grew black
But the stars were bright
And she was feeling like a bird on a first flight
Not quite wrong, not quite right, but she so desperately wanted to fly

[Chorus]
And that's the thing about giving your heart away
You never know when you'll see you're missing a piece
Until you find out too little too late
You didn't notice that you were bleeding
Now the life is gone from your eyes
You're just a memory frozen in time
And that's the thing about giving your heart away, giving your heart away

[Verse 2]
Her hands would shake
When she said goodbye
She never meant to hurt a heart that was so kind
Searching for words to apologize with her mistakes burning bright in his eyes
Unwelcome tears that he tried to fight, spilling out slowly running him dry

[Chorus]
And that's the thing about giving your heart away
You never know when you'll see you're missing a piece
Until you find out too little too late
You didn't notice that you were bleeding
Now the life is gone from your eyes
You're just a memory frozen in time
And that's the thing about giving your heart away

[Bridge]
Said it was love but I didn't believe him
Feel like I'm locked inside without a key and
If I could only collect all of the pieces that I have given up
Maybe we'd be in love

[Chorus]
And that's the thing about giving your heart away
You never know when you'll see you're missing a piece
Until you find out too little too late
You didn't notice that you were bleeding
Now the life is gone from your eyes
You're just a memory frozen in time
And that's the thing about giving your heart away, giving your heart away
