Holding On

holding on, with a long tight string

holding on, as if we are connected

holding on, trying to pull me closer

holding on, starting to smother me

holding on, to what you think i am

holding on, to an impossible dream

holding on, saying you love me

holding on, but never knowing me

holding on, please stop

i can hold you out.
