Grace Potter & the Nocturnals - Keepsake lyrics

You always hated the way I lived You never wanted the things I had to give But still something keeps you holding on Leaving 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 You're holding onto me like a keepsake Holding onto me like a keepsake Why won't you give my heart a break And just let me go Oh oh, baby let me go You keep my love in a little box I tried to pick the lock but You keep me hiding out behind your closet door Tell me why you have to treat me so unkind You keep me outta sight and outta your mind Come on and open me up, I can't take it no more You're holding onto me like a keepsake Holding onto me like a keepsake Why won't you give my heart a break And just let me go, yeah Oh oh, baby let me go When you try to touch my soul Your fingertips are always cold Am I just your souvenir? You buried me like treasure Then forgot you left me here Holding onto me like a keepsake Holding onto me like a keepsake Why won't you give my heart a break And just let me go Holding onto 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 Oh oh, baby let me go Oh oh, let me go
