For Dear Life

As I have only my convictions I've made some mistakes
Trial and error is not an answer or even a break
So I cling to the only treasure I've pleasured to know
I can't believe
That these precious things are ever worth letting go
In my time, I've been blessed
With a powerful love very few ever get
It's a pain and a plea
To possess this desire which comes over me
So I fight while holding on for dear life
I'm holding on for dear life
Empty daybreaks have been replacing my generous nights
I lose sight of things we've created and have put them aside
To go forward with just one motion is all I can do
I doubt very much though I could forget if I wanted to
In my time, I've been blessed
With a powerful love very few ever get
It's a pain and a plea
To possess this desire which comes over me
So I cry while holding on for dear life
I'm holding on for dear
So I cling to the only treasure I've pleasured to know
I can't believe
That these precious things are ever worth letting go
In my time, I've been blessed
With a powerful love very few ever get
It's a pain and a plea
To possess this desire which comes over
In my time, I've been blessed
With a powerful love very few ever get
It's a pain and a plea
To possess this desire which comes over me
So I try while holding on for dear life
Yes, I'm holding on for dear life
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Dear life baby
Holding on
For dear life
Holding on
For dear life
Holding on baby
