I Held On (song #103)

I Held On

I held on 

For so long

Still you ran away

I held on

For so long

Now your here to stay

I’m falling down

But turned around

Still you run away

I’m falling down

But turned around

Now you’re here to stay

There is nothing like a moment of insecurity

To open you up to what you believe

There is nothing like a moment of letting go

To open you up to what you really (already?) know 

I held on 

For so long

Still you ran away

I held on

For so long

Now your here to stay

I’m falling down

But turned around

Still you run away

I’m falling down

But turned around

Now you’re here to stay

(There is) nothing like a darkened shadow

To help you finally see the light

There's nothing like the morning sun

To cast away the darkest night 

I held on 

For so long

Still you ran away

I held on

For so long

Now your here to stay

I’m falling down

But turned around

Still you run away

I’m falling down

But turned around

Now you’re here to stay

Build up all these fences

Damn the consequences

Just to tear you down

Build up our defenses

Pushing so relentless

Just to be unbound

I held on 

For so long

Still you ran away

I held on

For so long

Now your here to stay

I’m falling down

But turned around

Still you run away

I’m falling down

But turned around

Now you’re here to stay
