Hold 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.
Why do I speak if no one hears
Who can I turn to if you're not there
And why do I carry on the way that I do
Why do I question myself like this over you
'Cos trouble and sorrow - it's all I can feel
There's so much confusion it seems so unreal
Hold on - to our own selves be true
Hold on hold on
Hold on - let's see this love through
Hold on hold on
Why do we have to act so foolishly
Hurting one another - you and me
All we have to do is try more now and then
And who's to say that we can't make things right again
Heartaches and sorrow it's bringin' us down
There's so much to give let's turn this love around
Hold on - to our own selves be true
Hold on hold on
Hold on - let's see this love through
Hold on hold on
Hold on just hold on to me
Hold on hold on
Hold on you know our love will be
Hold on
I don't wanna hear that loving you is wrong
I only know these words will have to make us strong
It's the things we say but more the things we do
And what I wanna say is "baby I love you"
Heartaches and sorrow it's bringin' us down
There's so much to give let's turn this love around
Hold on - to our own selves be true
Hold on hold on
Hold on - let's see this love through
Hold on hold on
Hold on just hold on to me
Hold on hold on
Hold on you know our love will be
Hold on hold on
Hold on
