Hold On

11 1 1
                                    

        Watching those tears fall 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        As you try to stall, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        Time’s going way to fast, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        Forget about the past, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        Can’t do nothing now, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        I’d fix it if I knew how, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        Please take my hand, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        I’ll help you stand, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        I know you’re getting weak, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        Life’s not what you think, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        Yes it gets tough, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        And it even gets rough, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        Just get off the floor, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        You don’t have to hurt anymore, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        You look up and smile, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        You’re not standing trial, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        I see another tear, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        All I feel is fear, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        My heart breaks, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        As I see it’s too late, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        What do I do, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        I watch myself lose you, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        I scream and I yell, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        Why couldn’t I tell, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        You reached for me, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        And now I see, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on.

        Hear my broken whispered no, 

                Hold on, hold on, hold on, 

        Because you let go.
