Hold On mp3

The boy’s story was that
One day without any warning
She said that’s enought hands off which
He found cause for mourning

You said you never worried
You saw her in control
But you didn’t share your thoughts on
Being vulnerable
Perhaps you thought that she could choose
But she could neither love nor lose

To her
It’s all the same
But what if you had told her
Letting go’s okay for the weak
Not the strong
So we’ll hold on
Hold on

You were her role model and
She could tell you were at battle
She thought you fought the stoic fight and
Got the message that it mattered

It could have been genetic
But maybe she adopted thick skin
Unconscious of the circumstances
She nonetheless know she could not win a-
Gainst what was only the first
Collision of the universe

To her
It’s all the same
But what if you had told her
Letting go’s okay for the weak
Not the strong
So we’ll hold on
Hold on

Too young to
Remember
She soon grew
Too well rehearsed
To see an-y
Moment
Your back foot
Follow the first
     So hide
Your pet fox
While you hold
Your insides in
And she fig-
ures out how
To live with
Out intestines

To her
It’s all the same
But what if you had told her
What if you had told her
It’s all the same
But what if you had told her
What if you had told her
Hold on
We’ll hold on
Hold on
