you hold on so tight
with all of your might
to the only thing in life
that gives you the sense
you're not alone
but the harder you try
the more you rely
on the little lies and false pretenses
of someone's life you do not own
CHORUS:
and you will hold on through tomorrow
and you will wake to find nothing's changed
but how many more tomorrow's
must we be so estranged
you say that you've tried
and i know that you've tried
to set this part of me you fear aside
'cause it's easier to hide
you say that you're through
with breaking in two
and live your life by "what would jesus do"
but i don't believe he'd live like you
CHORUS
you hold on so tight
with all of your might
to all the pain in your own life
then blame mine and say it isn't right
but try as you may
to wish this away
and end will come
to all these games you play
and then you'll wish for yesterday
CHORUS
