Hard Not to Hold You
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.
It's hard to say that
I've forgotten how to disappear
I'll hide from my thoughts
In the hope that beauty fades
Am I enough?
I'm scared of everything I shouldn't be
Should I change myself enough
So you stop wanting to know me?
It's hard not to hold you
And I'm sad to say
That I can't console you
When there's nothing to face
Oh, I'd like to know you
When you've finished your thoughts
It's not easy feeling helpless
Oh, I'd like to hold you
Oh, I'd like to hold you
So I'll feign a smile and bury everything I think
Just tell me who I've to lie to?
(It's hard, I know, it's hard, I know it's hard)
More tainted nights
They comе, and then they go
But I just want to know wherе to stand?
It's hard not to hold you
It's hard not to hold you
It's hard not to hold you
It's hard not to hold you
It's hard not to hold you
And I'm sad to say
That I can't console you
When there's nothing to face
Oh, I'd like to know you
When you've finished your thoughts
It's not easy feeling helpless
Oh, I'd like to hold you
Oh, I'd like to hold you
Oh, I'd like to hold you
It's hard not to hold you
Oh, I'd like to hold you
