Holding On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sitting here, silently
As you tear me down
With your words all night
What went wrong
You're not you
And it's scaring me
Am I hearing you right
Like a house of
Cards in the wind
One big gust and
We could cave in
I don't want us
Haunted by what might have been
So I'm holding on
Holding on, holding on
I just don't want to let go
I'm holding on, holding on, holding on
Cause deep down I already know
We're close
And there's no turning back once
We're down that road
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on to you
Three a.m., half asleep
On a beat up couch
Praying that we'll pull through
If I could I'd go back
And fix my mistakes
All the things I can't undo
Like a house of
Cards in the wind
One big gust and
We could cave in
I don't want us
Haunted by what might have been
Stop placing the blame because
Neither of us are perfect
It's not complicated
So don't analyze it to death
So I'm holding on
Holding on, holding on
I just don't want to let go
I'm holding on, holding on, holding on
Cause, deep down, I already know
We're close
And there's no turning back once
We're down that road
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on to you
