Hold on

Faded faces in my mind
Smiles that should have stood the test of time
The sound of laughter in the air
Sudden swoosh then they’re gone
They were never there

And how do I keep these memories alive
How do I keep you here
When you were left behind

Hold on
I need you to hold on
Why you just let go
Oh why I’ll never know
Come back
Oh why can’t you come back
Please just talk to me
Just talk to me when I can’t breathe

Ice froze over our December hearts
Emptied the bellies of our November
Oh that harsh, that harsh December

I hear a faint hello in my ear
Every time I think
Every time I wish you’re near
Every time I look and you’re not here

Hold on
I need you to hold on
Why you just let go
Oh why I’ll never know
Come back
Oh why can’t you come back
Please just talk to me
Just talk to me when I can’t breathe

Tears fell down in waves
The waves that consumed you
And I fell down that day
You were the one I could never save

Hold on
I need you to hold on
Why you just let go
Oh why I’ll never know
Come back
Oh why can’t you come back
Please just talk to me
Just talk to me when I can’t breathe

Just talk to me when I can’t breathe
On the day we lost everything
