Holding On (Edited Version)

(Verse 1)
Lying on my back
Staring at the ceiling
My head is starting to spin
I’m grasping for air

(Bridge)
There’s a sharp pain in my stomach
Voices in my head getting louder
Everything done seems like its been in vain
Face without a smile since I don’t know when

(Hook)
I’m reaching my hands out into the air
Hoping somebody will help me 
Sending my sos
I’m holding on

(Verse 2)
Trying to get a message out
Wont somebody hear me
My hands are becoming numb 
Feeling so light headed

(Bridge)
Feels like I’m falling
Hanging on to a thin thread
Clouds are moving so fast
Wind is blowing strong

(Hook)
I’m reaching my hands out into the air
Hoping somebody will help me 
Sending my sos
I’m holding on
