I look around my room it’s empty
It’s not the same as what it used to be
When you were here everything felt right
When you were here the stars were all aligned
Beneath the skin my heart is yearning
Silently it’s singing me to sleep
If you were here you’d sing to me all night
If you were here you’d be my will to fight
I will hold on
Hold on for my life
I know it’s what you want for me
But it is far too much for me to bare the chill in my bones
Long enough to stay a float
Now all my time’s spent on hiding
Dodging any chance for us to meet
I never thought that it would be this hard
But now this ache we share is all I’ve got
Chorus
I will hold on
Hold on for my life
I know it’s what you want for me
But it is far too much for me to bare the chill in my bones
Long enough to stay a float
How can I feel?
How do I deal?
When every night it’s just me playing with fire
How do I sleep?
How can I believe?
When all these scars that I wear won’t let me
I will hold on
Hold on for my life
I know it’s what you want for me
But it is far too much for me to bare the chill in my bones
Long enough to stay a float
