Hold my hands yes hold them close so tightly
For so long I have felt this fear
Take deep breaths
Don't give up here just yet
You swear your ending's somewhere near
I was there pulling into my driveway
Running straight to the front door as to see
Her tell my family he had
Stopped intake long before looking up
Coming from every angle a thousand things
Running through my head
Didn't expect it now no, not now
Why? It's so soon
Yet I'm still poised and offering
As I tread the living room
Oh, you held me higher
Than I thought that I could climb
I'd just say no i'd just say no
Guilty me i treated you like shit
And you were all I ever wanted in me
I owe you it too
Because I missed my last chance to say
That I love you
I caught a glimpse of his legs
Collapsed in black leaning over the sleeves
A place that I used to call home
(Call my home) in that street
That house where I came from guilty me
I treated you like shit
And you were all I ever wanted in me
I owe you it too
Because I missed my last chance to say
That I love you
Hold my hands yes hold them close so tightly
For so long I have felt this fear
Take deep breaths
Don't give up here just yet
You swear your ending's somewhere near
I was there pulling into my driveway
Running straight to the front door as to see
Her tell my family he had
Stopped intake long before
Guilty me i treated you like shit
And you were all I ever wanted in me
I owe you it too
Because I missed my last chance to say
That I love you
