Held On Tight

Some are lucky to never experience the HURTS that I had to endure I never got to be a child I grew older and older after each argument after each tear I grew up nervous I don't know if god did this one purpose But I always felt like I was going to lose something So I held on tight You could cut the tension with a knife It was basic instincts I hoped my mom and dad would stick it out for better or worse Worse I guess took over because before you knew it my dad wasn't living with us anymore Even as a young girl I knew what that was about I had tried so hard to get them to stay To work on their love I was a true daddy's girl so of course I missed him The day my mom forgave him and let him come home I held him even tighter than you'll ever know I think I could feel him slipping away Losing touch changing wave links Even though I tried to cuff him to my hands I will never understand The tighter I held him The quicker god formulated a plan Than I lost him
