Hold On

It's not news I'm such a mess
I need to take this weight off my chest
I’m drowning in myself
And I can't see you to help
I'm hiding all of my scars
They don't know who they are
They don't know how much I care
I want to run away to nowhere
They say it's ok to cry
But they don't tell you the reasons why
I'm over with this lullaby
For once, you'll hear me say goodbye
Hold on, I gotta give it away
I can't stand anymore to behave like a slave
I need time to take care of my sanity
Hold on, I won’t live in vain
It’s like there’s nothing else for me to pray
Maybe if I sleep, you'll go away
I'm not ashamed to confess
I'm a victim of my own head
Nothing is enough to make me whole
I swear I’m doing my best
I’ll stay strong, I’ll carry on
But God, I don’t wanna be alone
They say it’s ok to fail
But they don’t tell you they'll make you stale
I won't make no amends
I'm no longer calling you friend
Hold on, I gotta give it away
I can’t stand anymore to behave like a slave
I need time to take care of my sanity
Hold on, I won’t live in vain
It’s like there’s nothing else for me to pray
Maybe if I sleep, you'll go away
You try to convince me what life is
You’re only telling me lies
You try to convince what life is
You’re only telling me lies
Fuck off
You try to convince me what life is
You’re only telling me lies
You try to convince me what life is
You’re telling me lies
Fuck off
Hold on, I gotta give it away
I can’t stand anymore to behave like a slave
I need time to take care of my sanity
Hold on, I won’t live in vain
It’s like there’s nothing else for me to pray
Maybe if I sleep, you'll go away
Go away
Go away
