Hold On: Sometimes You Need To Lose

Sometimes You Need To Lose


I don’t need – an intervention
I don’t need – to be controlled
All I asked – you for – was a hand to hold
I don’t need – your pessimism
I don’t care – what you think you know
I am going – to climb – out of this hole

Maybe you were right, what you said before
But you’re still perfect and alone
You’re still perfect and alone
You’re still perfect and alone… with everything
I was only living to keep my head up
I would have gone like a light if I weren’t scared of the dark
I don’t mind showing people scars
I don’t mind sharing

You might think – that I’m a loser
All you see – Is where I’ve been
But I can’t tell you now…
I don’t know – where to begin
But I don’t need – your patronizing
I don’t need – your mockery
If you’re so high – why do you have – all this time for me?
