Holding On

There’s no more tears left to cry
But I’m not ready to die
Now’s not my time
Church bells won’t chime
For my funeral tonight
Won’t turn out the light

Still too optimistic
Trying to find a romantic
Want someone to prove me wrong
Want to find a place where I belong
Is that too much to ask for?

All I have left inside
Is an empty space far and wide
I want the pain to go away
Before I start to decay
Echoes of what I’ve heard
Cage me in like a bird

Stop repeating – I don’t wanna hear it anymore
I understand – and it hurts me right down to my core
But my stupid foolish dream still stands strong
As I belt out another angry song
And all the misery and hope bottle into one
And I can’t even remember why what you did is done

Broken shards of glass at my feet
Crunch, as I find where dreams and reality meet
And as I try to cross the line to where I want to be
I get thrown back to the turbulent sea of me
