Holding On

Holding on tight
Not wanting to let go
Thinking your right 
But really you don’t know

Holding on forever
That won’t make it any better
Thinking it was clever
Starting to write a letter

No more holding on
Beginning to tie the noose
Not letting this go on
Feeling my body sway loose

I’m sorry for wanting to die
This was my way of saying goodbye
