I know I need you now and I hate it
I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it
But ain t nobody do me like you do
The way you break my heart in two
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
You have really been the only way to
Live through the civil wars, and
Nine elevens and holocausts then
Dream of a better dawn
I remember when you taught me how to fly
I used to treasure you like gold
When ignorance was bliss back then
But so much has changed with time
I ve watched some people die since then
Now I ve lost most fights that I ve fought and
I feel more broken than whole and
I ve cried more than often than not
And I know that it s you in it all
So it makes me scared to trust you
When you re so often full of it
Pretend that I don t let it bother me
But I do, and it does
I know I need you now and I hate it
I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it
But ain t nobody do me like you do
The way you break my heart in two
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
Your light used to keep me up at night
Dreaming of all I could be
Anything could happen, these days
An unaffordable luxury
I love you, I ain t gonna lie
You ve been like water to my tree
Now you re slowly drowning me
And it s hard for me to see why
We re still standing here
I know I need you now and I hate it
I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it
But ain t nobody do me like you do
The way you break my heart in two
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
Maybe our time s come and gone on
Me and you had a long time, a nice run
But everything good always has an end come
And maybe it s time you and I move on
But you re the one carrying me to the next line
Have I ve let you let me down for the last time
I need you more than I ve ever had to
But I don t want to
Don t let me lose you
I know I need you now and I hate it
I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it
But ain t nobody do me like you do
The way you break my heart in two
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
