Hold Tight

It's been fifteen years since we left you on the street

I didn't see a single tear roll down your cheek

Not that I cared, I was barely four years old

But mum was right, we were both just moving on

But that's what you couldn't see

Wasn't sure if you really wanted me

Now I'm 21 years old

So what's seven months

You couldn't even fucking call

You always say you're proud of me

But these autumn leaves fall like my self-esteem

I'll hold tight my insecurities

I left dad back in anna-bay with every single thing we made

Through the glass I watched you disappear

Was the coldest winter day that year

And I'm grateful, not that I have shown it

Never from a lack of love, more like a useless poet

You always say you're proud of me

But these autumn leaves fall like my self-esteem

I'll hold tight my insecurities

Spring time came so suddenly

Bet you couldn't even bear to see the better man I’d grown to be

Now I’m starting to realize

The choices you made will never shape me

Now I’m starting to come

To terms with all the thoughts that cloud my head

We'll make it through you'll see, that's what you said to me

We'll make it through you'll see, that's what you said to me

You always say you're proud of me

But these autumn leaves fall like my self-esteem

I'll hold tight my insecurities

Spring time came so suddenly

Bet you couldn't even bear to see the better man I’d grown to be

I'll watch these autumn leaves, hold tight my insecurities

I'll watch these autumn leaves, blow them away my summer breeze
