Hold Me By The Hand

Hold me by the hand
And never let me go
I'm afraid of falling
But I'll never let it show

Instead you'll see my smile
And my web of truthful lies
I'll let you hear my laugh
But it will all be my disguise

I can't show you my weakness
I can't let you see my fears
I can't show you my sadness
I can't shed a single tear

But the pain inside's so real
I want things to be okay
Why can't I make it better
And make things last another day

You were my only saviour
When I was with you things were real
I lived just for those moments
The moments when I could feel

They say that things get better
But how long will it take
I've been waiting here forever
And yet my happiness is still fake

Maybe you'll come back to me
And I'll be happy again
I can't go on without you
Because you're my greatest friend

Who is this person you ask me
This person I miss so much
It's not so much a person
But rather a soul untouched

So I'm standing here, incomplete
Not able to carry on
So I'll fake it to last another day
And pretend that nothing is wrong
