Lyrics To Be Held - Slaid Cleaves

You're not asking for diamonds
You don't want furs
You don't dream of silver and gold
All you're asking is to be cherished
To be held and to hold

You don't need me to come 'round
Solving your problems
You need more than blankets in the cold
And all that you want is a chance to get closer
To be held and to hold

To be held and to hold
Is all that you ask
And still sometimes I fail at the task
When all that you want is a chance to get closer
To be held and to hold

I walk around blindly
I bumble along
In my heart I know that I'm wrong
It's a cold consolation

I'm sorry again
One more time the same story told
And all that you want is a chance to get closer
To be held and to hold

To be held and to hold
Is all that you ask
And still sometimes I fail at the task
When all that you want is a chance to get closer
To be held and to hold

When all that you want is a chance to get closer
To be held and to hold
