Hold Me It Hurts
Ever since my birth I've felt cold in this world
as a kid I was made to feel like i didn't have a voice, so now I put my soul in these words
for the new me to be born, I had to put the old me in dirt
I'll walk through the storm alone, I'm not the type to say hold me it hurts
The small kid who used to cry because his dad wasn't around no longer exists
I've found peace in my own heart, so I no longer worry about who I didn't belong with
we're all struggling with something, obviously the scars hurt
but I look at all new obstacles and smile knowing I've already overcame far worse
my past doesn't define me, the choices I make do
I hold myself accountable, because every other human makes mistakes too
if you were to spend a day in my mind, you'd get lost fast
I've faced more nightmares than a kid waking on Christmas eve to see Santa wearing a slipknot mask
so the storm doesn't scare me, because I've bled before
you have to know I won't give up even if I'm tired and walking on a red floor
I learned to not rely on others to carry you, because that's something only a weak man will do
the smartest thing I learned was to follow my heart and use my head more
I'm 27 Years in this world and at times I still feel cold in this world
as a kid I was made to feel like i didn't have a voice, so now I put my soul in these words
for this new me to be born, I had to put the old me in dirt
I'll walk through the storm alone, I'm not the type to say hold me it hurts
