Wholehearted from HEALTHYSELF by Cooper Henderson

So we go our separate ways and say it’s for the better
I call up all of the old faces I haven’t seen forever
I heard you ended it with Mae – celebrate your freedom
Maybe call that old brunette that you were always feeling
But when I get her in my stupid arms
I don’t tell her but it feels like cheating
‘Cause there’s a hole clean through my heart
No curly brown hair can stop the bleeding

I think about the three words I didn’t say
I think of all of the memories gone to waste
I think about it at night
And as the day comes rolling in

I try to roll with the punches on my own
I try to roll up my sleeves and carry on
But all I want to do is roll back time
And tell you I’m wholehearted

I heard you’re going out again – you've found yourself another
Who bugs your roommates to no end and flirts with your mother
He’s going on and on again about his El Camino
But I know who you really want to be your valentino
‘Cause when you’re riding in that stupid car
Do you like it in shotgun baby?
Take a look at your hired heart;
Does he drive you wild or drive you crazy?

I think about the three words I didn’t say
I think of all of the memories gone to waste
I think about it at night
And as the day comes rolling in

I try to roll with the punches on my own
I try to roll up my sleeves and carry on
But all I want to do is roll back time
And tell you I’m wholehearted

Fear is a friend of mine and tradition’s not my style
But you make the simple life worth while (Oh!)

Seven weeks have slipped away and I’m only getting weaker
I walk to class out of my way just so I can see her
How’s your family? You look great. It seems like forever
There’s something that I have to say (It’s now or never)

You say you’ve had enough of paying with fire
I burned you bad and you can’t trust me
But the more you try to hide desire
The more I know that you still love me

I think about the three words I didn’t say
I think of all of the memories gone to waste
I think about it at night
And as the day comes rolling in

I try to roll with the punches on my own
I try to roll up my sleeves and carry on
But all I want to do is roll back time
And tell you I’m wholehearted

Oooh oooh oooh oooh
I’m wholehearted
I’m wholehearted
Ooooooh,
Ooooooh!
