Hang On

They say keep hangin' on (keep hangin' on)

And to hold on, too (to hold on, too)

I used to be strong (used to be strong)

After all that I've gone through (all that I've gone through)

I don't feel like myself (I don't feel like myself), I think I need help

The people I talk to (people I talk to)

Say keep hangin' on (keep hangin' on)

I don't know if I want to (I don't know if I want to)

I thought it would be better when I'm older

Celebrating birthdays with the devil on my shoulder

We liked to drink together but the minute I got sober

You started sayin' things that I've had trouble gettin' over

Now I'm just alone and I'm tired

I got 20 feet of rope, but I got nowhere to tie it

To climb out of this hole or pull myself any higher

'Cause I'm exhausted and my bones are heavy, coated with iron

Forged in a fire and molded with pliers

I know that I'm supposed to be the one who's givin' hope, I'm a liar

I tried to jump the motor and exposed all the wires

But all it did was make a spark, it didn't power the tires

It's like I'm standin' on the edge and I'm scared

I wonder if I slip 'n fall would anyone care

I did my best to fix it but it can't be repaired

And it ain't fair

They say keep hangin' on (keep hangin' on)

And to hold on, too (to hold on, too)

I used to be strong (used to be strong)

After all that I've gone through (all that I've gone through)

I don't feel like myself (I don't feel like myself), I think I need help

The people I talk to (people I talk to)

Say keep hangin' on (keep hangin' on)

I don't know if I want to (I don't know if I want to)

I feel like I've been livin' on the dark side

I know it's hard to tell but I've been goin' through a hard time

Fightin' in a blindfold with my ankles and my arms tied

I'm runnin' out of places where the bruises and the scars hide

Honestly I'm angry and exhausted

I'm appalled at what the therapy and medicine have cost

And I'm so tortured by the feeling's that they told me they could cure

I'm runnin' out of options, that's for sure

I don't want the sympathy or sorries, I'm not in it for the glory

Bein' popular is boring, I just want to tell my story

All that sappy shit is corny, I won't make it 'til I'm forty

With the way that I've been feelin' I might go before the morning

And when I leave I will not reappear

No encore, even if you stay to scream and cheer

I just hope I help you see it clear

'Cause now we're here

They say keep hangin' on (keep hangin' on)

And to hold on, too (to hold on, too)

I used to be strong (used to be strong)

After all that I've gone through (all that I've gone through)

I don't feel like myself (I don't feel like myself), and I think I need help

The people I talk to (people I talk to)

Say keep hangin' on (keep hangin' on)

I don't know if I want to (I don't know if I want to)
