Holding On

I feel like I’m so far away from home
Sometimes, I don’t know where to roam
I feel as if I’m going slowly insane by the minute
Quit trying to make me believe in your lies, which make you an idiot

Caress me with your hugs of affection
I’ve been holding back tears of regret and rejection
I’m holding onto you whether you like it or not
I feel as if my heart will pound out of control and skipped a beat – don’t let me rot

I’m holding on till my strength is gone
I’m moving on till the break of dawn
I’m holding on till my heart gives out
I’m moving on without a single doubt

Hold onto me till the day I die
Cuddle with me, so that I won’t cry
Love me and touch me everywhere
Hold onto me tightly without a care

I’ve held onto you for so long
You taught me the difference between right and wrong
Loving you is the toughest job to keep up
You broke me like an expensive, delicate cup

Wash me thoroughly with your love from above
Marinate me with your marvelous light of delight
You’re so amazing, my gracious, incredible dove
Love me, touch me and hold onto me with all of your might
