Hold Me Close

I was lost, didn't know where I was going

And I felt the chill, of cold wind blowing

I didn't know, just who I was becoming

I felt so alone, I was tired of running

And then I saw you

You changed my perspective

Made me see what I don't need

Put pressure on my heart

Where it used to bleed

And I'd hold you close

If you gave me the chance

And I would smile

Being stuck in your trance

I'd throw life away

Just to be by your side

I know it won't happen

But at least I tried

Hold me close

I need to experience you first hand

Throw me away

I won't like it but I'll understand

Hold me close

So close

I was feeling like I was running on empty

So confused, you know I just couldn't see

Things for what they really were

I thought I was nothing without her

And then I saw you

You turned me around

You picked me up when I fell down

Dusted me off then walked away

Now I know everything's okay

And I can't name all the things I would do

Just for a chance to be close to you

Hold me close

I need to experience you first hand

Throw me away

I won't like it but I'll understand

Hold me close

So close

And we're living in a world of pain

Our feelings will never be the same

Just know that I'll be here for you

And I thank you for what you helped me through

I was helpless and confused

Then I saw you

You hurt me

Healed me

Took me

Broke me

Drew me near and pushed me back

I love you

Hate you

Hold you

Drop you

Show you the light then turn to black

I owe you everything
