hold on Songtext
von RØRY

I′ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you lose your mind
I got further than I thought I could
But I miss you more than I thought I would

I been dreamin' of dyin′ for so long
Not got the strength to hold on
To a life that only deserts me
Don't think that I'll make it to 30
All I got is this wasted potential
Don′t know why it′s got its hand 'round my throat

So, I take out a pen and paper and I write them a note
"I′m sorry I'm leavin′, and if you need a reason
I ain't got the strength no more to fight this war
Or to battle with these demons, I guess they won
I′m sorry, I'm done"


Kid, you don't know me, but I swear I know you
All of the things that you been through, well, I been through ′em too
I know every battle that you fought and lost in your head
And I know what happens when you finally go and get help
See, you become someone else, you got a future with things that you do
I′ve seen your family, wish I could show 'em to you
You gotta promise me you′ll never give up
'Cause you ain′t fightin' for you, no, you′re fightin' for us

I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you lose your mind
I got further than I thought I could
But I miss you more than I thought I would

No, you don′t know what I′ve done
Unforgivable things when I'm young
I′ve driven drunk, I've stolen money for drugs
I broke the heart of somebody who was just tryin′ to love me
And she was screamin', I was leavin′, so detached from my feelings
Cutting off family ties, cutting into my skin just to feel alive
Cut another line with another card that I maxed out, 'til I pass out
I don't wanna be here now, so don′t tell me it′s true
'Cause I′ve been lied to by everyone but I can't be by you

I′ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you lose your mind
I got further than I thought I could
But I miss you more than I thought I would


There's a family pattern, a reason it happened
You were only a kid when they did what they did
You weren′t protected, got rejected, and then you got abandoned
It made you feel like you don't matter, but it ain't true
Re-enacting patterns of attachment, ain′t your fault that it happened
But now you, you gotta promise me you′ll hold on
So you can come back here one day and write us this song
