Hold The Ones You Love Close

We're all giving up our lives for a rare breed of friend

Hold the ones you love close

Keep your jealousy closer still

Keep your mind

Keep your heart

Keep your will

But please let me in

Let me inside

I wanna feel alive

It's gotta be a flame if you want to feel the burn

It's time to get lost outside, and never go back home

I need to believe

The heart on my sleeve used to be bleeding but now all the blood's run dry

If you'd only be the completion of me

I agree to try

We're all giving up our lives for a rare breed of friend

Hold the ones you love close

Keep your enemies closer still

Keep your mind

Keep your heart

Keep your will

But please let me in

Let me inside

I need, I need to feel alive

It's gotta be a flame if you want to feel the burn

It's time to get lost outside, and never go back home

I need to believe

The heart on my sleeve used to be bleeding but now all the blood's run dry

If you'd only be the completion of me

I agree to try

I can't offer you anything more than myself (Some rules are made for breaking)

And I'm not even sure I can offer you that (Some risks are worth the taking)

I'm the closest a man can get to a disaster (Don't take more than I'm giving)

If you'd only be the completion of me

I'd be the closest I can be to alive

To hold the affections of such as you is beyond my reach

Your parents' broken porcelain resounding heavily in your ears

Don't be a victim of them

The walls the damaged people build to hold the world at bay

This is who we are and how we'll stay
