Gigi Dixon - Sliver Of Hope Lyrics

I know you know how I feel
Behind my thin disguise
I know you are spoken for
Someone's private pair of dice
So I try to keep my distance
Shake it off like the cold
But at the heart of my resistance
There's still a sliver of hope

I wish I knew why it is
My soul's so caught on you
I wish I could read the signs in your tempting
Attitude
Split the fact out from the fiction
Find the place where it shows
If there's a crack in your conviction
That leaves a sliver of hope

Hangin' on the smallest of chances
Holdin' on with blind trust and faith
Sometimes that's all romance is
For those
Willin' to wait

I tell my mind don't dare show
What my pride's swore to hide
I tell myself not to dream about holdin' you
Each night
Though I'd love to feel your passion
Pull your warm body close
I'm so scared of your reaction
I save my sliver of hope

My sliver of hope
I save
My sliver of hope
