Hold Fast (feat. Artie Smith) Lyrics

Black tie, black suit, welcome to my funeral
twenty one years in this life and I got a few to go
Life you know, it's probably not the same way I view it
if I could erase and replace everything, I'd do it
But nothins' meant to last, box up those photographs
you see life half full but I'm lookin' at an empty glass
If that's the way life is gonna be then I don't want it
you said you wouldn't drop and leave but you went and done it
I don't remember how your hands feel on mine but I crave it
So wait until I get to the other side and say I made it
'cause I've been shattered and after I don't feel nothin' left
If I knew my life would be at your expense I would've kept
and I feel the pain but let it rain 'cause it's all I know
You got the world I got the weight of it, don't it show?
but I gotta get it right 'cause I don't got no chances to blow
so if you can hold fast, don't let me go
I'm clinging to these memories and praying that they never leave

I can't forget you, I'm begging please
This is the truth I don't want to believe
I can't bear to let you go, there's so much more that you don't know
I've been pushed too far with nothing to show, why can't you
Hold fast and don't let me go
It's like one too many mistakes I'm at this place
eyes closed, head down, 'cause it's somethin' I can't face
Oh yeah you need me then you need me not, save me then you let me rot
and I'm still right here droppin' pedals like she loves me not
I think about you holdin' my hand sittin there I'm hopin'
they say freaks come out at night, well so does emotions
And if this is my last hope then baby I've tried,
I'd rather be alone then not have you by my side (c'mon)
I always seem to make the same stupid mistakes
over and over again
My nerves are always on edge 'cause I've raised the stakes
too far above my head
Why am I running in circles about this?
I'm so mad at you but I know you can't help it
It feels like a free fall but I'll never hit the ground
And the whole time I'm fallin' I can't make a sound
I'm clinging to these memories and praying that they never leave
I can't forget you, I'm begging please
This is the truth I don't want to believe
I can't bear to let you go, there's so much more that you don't know
I've been pushed too far with nothing to show, why can't you
Hold fast and don't let me go
Hold fast and don't (hold fast and) let me go
Hold fast and don't (hold fast and) let me go
I'm clinging to these memories and praying that they never leave
I can't forget you, I'm begging please
This is the truth I don't want to believe
I can't bear to let you go, there's so much more that you don't know
I've been pushed too far with nothing to show, why can't you
Hold fast and don't let me go
Hold fast and don't (hold fast and) let me go
Hold fast and don't (hold fast and) let me go
Hold fast and don't let me go
