Leona Lewis - My Hands Lyrics






I wake in the morning
Tired of sleeping
Get in the shower

And make my bed alone
I put on my makeup
Talking to the mirror
Ready for a new day
Without you

And I walk steady on my feet

I talk my voice obeys me
I go out at night
Sleep without the lights
And I do all of the things
I have to keeping you off my mind
But when I think I'll be alright
I am always wrong cause

My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake and try to break
whatever peace I may find

My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
And they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

I talk about you now
And go a day without crying
I go out with my friends now
I stay home all alone
I don't see you everywhere
I can say your name easily
I laugh a bit louder
Without you

And I see different shades now
And I'm almost never afraid now
But when I think I'll be okay
I am always wrong now

My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake and try to break
whatever peace I may find
My hands

They only agree to hold
Your hands
And they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

Sometimes I wake and see them reaching out for you
Quietly breaking whatever shields
I spent so long building up
I cannot fake, cos when they cry I'm unspoken
They miss holding my baby

My hands
No they don't wanna understand
They just shake and try to break
whatever peace I may find

My hands

Your hands
They don't want to be without
Your hands
They will not let me go

Not they will not let me go

My hands
They don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake and try to break
whatever peace I may find

My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
And they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

Leona Lewis My Hands Comments
  1. R.... R....

    I came out when I was 18 and it was closing in on the Christmas holidays and as much as everybody had their own things to deal with during that time my family and friends still supported so very much. This song helped me to be open and honest. Music and songs especially this special one that I hold close to my heart really made the anxiety and the negative thoughts go away and I'm happy to say that this song was the one playing in the background while I told my mom and dad that morning that I am gay.

  23. K.... S....

    Yea 9 years later ff13 still brought me here

    K.... S....

    I just finished my 10th anniversary replay today. Knowing what Vanille and Fang will end up doing at the end makes the journey so much more heartfelt. It wasn't even their home : (

  24. B.... B....

    I tried to listen to this song to enjoy it and I ended up sobbing.

  25. a.... j....

    You are gonna be my beauties 💓

    Kingdom hearts birth by sleep commercial

  35. J.... ....

  36. J.... T....

    Definitely the most slept on singer ever

    J.... T....

    Just a giant Leona Lewis mattress.

  37. s.... ....

    the only good part of FFXIII

  38. p.... ....

    Goosebumps, always. FF13

  39. T.... ....

    Best thing out of Final Fantasy XIII? This song.

  40. J.... S....

    Set it 3 keys higher and u got urself a MASTERPIECE

  41. S.... P....

    gotta watch it without the FF13 video for once, cause I'm not in the mood for tears right now. Such a great song.

  42. W.... W....

    I want to play this game again now listening to this. SE was always good at writing/choosing music for their video games.

  43. D.... G....

    Final Fantay XIII !!!

  44. Q.... o....

    where is all the ffXIII fans?
    I hope i am not the only one...

    Q.... o....

    You're not the only one. I'm also one of the minority who actually enjoy FFXIII lol.

    Q.... o....

    we all here, this song is FFXIII

    Q.... o....

    @Silver Man true 👌👍

    Q.... o....

    wth? All the fucking coments are from FFXIII fans, wtf are you saying?

    Q.... o....

    Silver Man
    Wrong! Some of us have had this song in our pockets and in the soundtrack to our lives when we got the CD BEFORE FF! TY

  45. s.... ....

    It's Fang and Vanille sacrificing their perfect love to save the world. It's living Snow and crystal Serah yearning for each other across eternity and finding their way home. It's Sazh literally moving heaven and earth to save his boy, it's Lightning reckoning with everything she has forsaken for those she loves, and Hope awakening that there is a life for him to live despite after all he has survived. And this song is my small comfort when I do all of the things I have to, keeping you off my mind, even though my hands try to shake and break whatever peace I may find. But miracles are things we make for ourselves, here and now. We hold the light of hope in our hearts, and we can achieve the impossible. And now I live on, to greet a new dawn.

  46. A.... F....

    Ruined FF 13

  47. S.... J....

    This version is much better trust me

  48. D.... G....

    FF13 just got added to Xbox One backwards compatibility w/ X enhancements. I'm jumping in again for the 2nd time. Bring on the tears, here we go!

  49. J.... ....

    Final Fantasy avaible for Xbox one now!

  50. B.... b....

    Who are the children in the comment section talking about final fantasy? Do you not realize that this song is about masturbation.

  51. s.... ....

    miss the old days.. beautiful days

  52. M.... ....

    If my heart could write songs, they'd sound like this.

  53. A.... B....

    Song is really for Serah and Snow I think. Makes the most sense to me :)

  54. L.... ....

    *cries in L'cie*

    L.... ....

    lmao nailed it

    L.... ....

    Dammit, you made me laugh. 😂

  55. F.... L....

    She's amazing

  56. R.... L....

  57. M.... ....

    ידיי:

    מתעורר בבוקר
    עייף מכדי לישון
    נכנס להתקלח

    מציע את מיטתי
    שמתי בושם
    מדבר למראה
    מתכונן ליום חדש
    בלעדייך

    ואני הולך בצורה יציבה על רגליי

    אני מדבר וקולי מציית לי
    אני יוצא בלילה
    ישן בלי אורות
    ואני עושה את כל הדברים האלה
    כדי להשכיח אותך ממחשבותיי
    אך מתי שאני חושב שאני בסדר
    אני תמיד בצרה צרורה

    ידיי
    אינן רוצות להתחיל שוב
    ידיי
    לא... הן אינן מבינות
    ידיי
    הן רועדות ומנסות לשבור
    את המנוחה שאני אמצא אי פעם

    ידיי
    הן מסכימות לאחוז
    את ידייך
    הן לא רוצות להיות בלי
    ידייך
    והן לא נותנות לי מנוח
    לא... הן לא נותנות לי מנוח

    אני מדבר עלייך עכשיו
    ועובר יום ללא בכי
    אני יוצא עם חברים עכשיו
    אני נשאר בבית לגמרי לבד
    אני לא רואה אותך בכל מקום
    אני יכול להגיד את שמך בקלות
    אני צוחק קצת יותר חזק
    בלעדייך

    ואני רואה גוונים אחרים
    ואני כמעט לא מפחד עכשיו
    אך כשאני חושב שאני בסדר
    אני מיד טועה כי
    ידיי
    אינן רוצות להתחיל שוב
    ידיי
    לא... הן אינן מבינות
    ידיי
    הן רועדות ומנסות לשבור
    את המנוחה שאני אמצא אי פעם

    ידיי
    הן מסכימות לאחוז
    את ידייך
    הן לא רוצות להיות בלי
    ידייך
    והן לא נותנות לי מנוח
    לא... הן לא נותנות לי מנוח

    לפעמים אני מתעורר ואני רואה אותם מנסות לתפוס אותך
    בשקט שוברים את המגנים
    שבזבזתי המון זמן כדי לבנות מחדש
    איני יכול לזייף, מתי שהן בוכות איני יכול לדבר
    הן מתגעגעות לאחוז בך

    ידיי
    לא... הן אינן מבינות
    ידיי
    הן רועדות ומנסות לשבור
    את המנוחה שאני אמצא אי פעם

    ידיי

    ידייך
    הן לא רוצות להיות בלי
    ידייך
    הן לא מניחות לי

    לא... הן לא מניחות לי
    ידיי
    אינן רוצות להתחיל שוב
    ידיי
    לא... הן אינן מבינות
    ידיי
    הן רועדות ומנסות לשבור
    את המנוחה שאני אמצא אי פעם

    ידיי
    הן מסכימות לאחוז
    את ידייך
    הן לא רוצות להיות בלי
    ידייך
    והן לא נותנות לי מנוח
    לא... הן לא נותנות לי מנוח
    לא... הן לא נותנות לי מנוח

  62. O.... ....

    I hated this song when I first heard it was going to be part of the game but really love it now.

  63. R.... E....

    This song and Halo by Beyonce sound a lot alike

    Just finished FF13 for the first time and, while the game was quite lacking gameplay wise, the story got me balling so hard. 10/10 game for story alone.

    A.... ....

    Flixey XIII is such a beautiful game. Its sequels get so much better in terms of gameplay. The stories are so unique, it’s almost like you’re playing a stand-alone Final Fantasy because of how different they feel from each other.

  66. L.... ....

    It was exactly at the moment this song kicked in, that final fantasy 13 became a real final fantasy for me.

    I wake in the morning, tired of sleeping
    Get in the shower, and make my bed alone
    I put on my makeup, talk into the mirror
    Ready for a new day, without you
    And I walk steady on my feet
    I talk, my voice obeys me
    I go out at night, sleep without the lights
    And I do all of the things I have to
    Keepin' you off my mind
    But when I think I'll be alright
    I am always wrong, cause
    My hands don't wanna start again
    My hands, no they don't wanna understand
    My hands, they just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
    My hands, they only agree to hold your hands
    And they don't wanna be without your hands
    And they will not let me go
    No they will not let me go
    I talk about you now
    And go a day without crying
    I go out with my friends now
    I stay home all alone
    And I don't see you everywhere
    And I can say your name easily
    I laugh a bit louder, without you
    And I see different shades now
    I'm almost, never, afraid now
    But when I think I'll be okay
    I am always wrong, cause
    My hands don't wanna start again
    My hands, no they don't wanna understand
    My hands, they just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
    My hands, they only agree to hold your hands
    No they don't wanna be without your hands
    And they will not let me go
    No they will not let me go
    Sometimes I'll wake
    I see them reaching out for you
    Quietly break whatever shields I spent so long building up
    I cannot fake, 'cause when they cry I'm unspoken
    They miss holding my baby
    My hands (my hands)
    No they don't wanna understand
    They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
    My hands, your hands, they don't wanna be without your hands
    No they will not let me go
    No they will not let me go
    My hands, don't wanna start again
    My hands, no they don't wanna understand
    My hands, they just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
    My hands, they only agree to hold your hands
    No they don't be without your hands
    And they will not let me go
    No they will not let me go
    No, no, no they will not let me go

    ff13 had potential but was horrible

    S.... U....

    Speak for yourself. It's one of my favorite Final Fantasies of all time. I get not liking it, but most critics of the game cite the exact same reasons that many other Final Fantasy games are guilty of. People were just butthurt about Final Fantasy XIII because it was really different from the rest of the series when it came out.

    S.... U....

    Richard Sinclair The gameplay is pretty bad. I really like it for th3 first 4 hours or so but then the gameplay got so boring and I took longer and longer breaks from the game. At one point my save data got accidently wiped. Tried picking it back up and couldn't get but about 15 minutes in.

    S.... U....

    Omni Wings You can have your opinion, but I disagree. I found that it was more engaging than typical turn-based gameplay. The allocating of certain types of abilities to one role and then being able to mix and match roles in different formations made for more strategic opportunities and also lead to more than one viable way to approach bosses. If I don't like one person's strategy, I can experiment and create my own instead of being locked into one pattern until I'm leveled enough to make it work. Obviously some strategies and paradigm groups are better than others but the point I'm trying to make is you're not "locked" to just one strategy.

    Also I found the weapons and accessories to be more dynamic and synergistic than "this item raises x stat 500 points". Different weapons and accessories can be mixed and matched to create different character builds. Also, some weapons and accessories work together to create cumulative effects.

    Also, the upgrade system is pretty fantastic, although admittedly tedious, ESPECIALLY in the endgame. There are save hacks and trainers you can use on the 360 and PC respectively to get around things though. Most notably you can max out your gil to make achievement hunting much easier.

    Anyway, all that being said, I don't think Final Fantasy XIII is perfect by ANY means, but it's not nearly as bad as people say.

    S.... U....

    are you nuts??!!! its one of the dumbest stories ive ever seen and BOI have i seen some dumb shit.
    the way they solve the BIG problem in the end just by wanting it to be solved really hard is outrageously silly

    S.... U....

    That’s actually not true on how the ending was.
