Holding On (song# 117)

Holding On

You make me weak

You make me strong

You make feel like I'm just holding on

You make me right

You make me wrong

You make feel like I'm just holding on

You once wanted me for worse or for better

And that was supposed to be forever

But for so long now you tend to pull away

Worse than stepping backwards is stepping to the side

You make me weak

You make me strong

You make feel like I'm just holding on

You make me right

You make me wrong

You make feel like I'm just holding on

I've never thought of them as empty promises

But now they feel like excuses

And I don't know why we have to change

Worse than turning blind eyes is closing them 

You make me weak

You make me strong

You make feel like I'm just holding on

You make me right

You make me wrong

You make feel like I'm just holding on

I know I don't fill your vision like I used to

And you haven't looked at me like that for so very long

I know my weaknesses haven't strengthened our longer view

And you can't always be that strong 

You make me weak

You make me strong

You make feel like I'm just holding on

You make me right

You make me wrong

You make feel like I'm just holding on
