Grace Potter & The Nocturnals - Keepsake lyrics

rate me

(Yeah, Oh, Yeah)

You always hated the way I live

You never wanted the things I had to give

But still there's something that keeps you holding on

Leavin' me is something only you can do

I'll never be the one to say we're through

But if you play the game

I'm gonna play the fool

(Chorus)

Your holding on to me like a keepsake

Holding on to me like a keepsake

Why won't you give my heart a break

And just let me go

Whoa, whoa-oowhoa

Oh, oh

Baby let me go

You keep my love in a little box

I tried to pick the lock

But you keep my hidin' out behind your closet door

Tell me why you got to treat me

So unkind, you keep me

Out of sight and out of your mind

Come on and open me up

I can't take it no more

(Chorus)

Your holding on to me like a keepsake

Holding on to me like a keepsake

Why won't you give my heart a break

And just let me go

Yeah, yeah-eahh

Oh, oh

Baby let me go

(Bridge)

When you try to touch my soul

Your fingertips are always cold

And my --- souvenir

You buried me like treasure

Then forgot you left me here

(Chorus)

Holding on to me like a keepsake

Holding on to me like a keepsake

Why won't you give my heart a break

And just let me go

Holding on to me like a keepsake

Maybe you love me but it's too late

Why won't you give my heart a break

And just let me go

Whoa, whoa-oaahh

Oh, oh

Baby let me go

Oh, oh

Let me go
