GrIp

You try to run, but I chase.
You try to scream, but I cover your face.
You pull away, but I grab your hand.
I've got this grip on you, that you don't understand.

You hide, you run, far away,
but this grip does not ease through the days.
I won't let go, loosen my grip,
cause if I do, my heart will rip.

You try to beg, but I ignore.
You try to co-operate, in hope my trust to restore.
You cry that I need to let go.
But my heart, is telling me no.

You hide, you run, far away,
but this grip does not ease through the days.
I won't let go, loosen my grip,
cause if I do, my heart will rip.

You try to loosen, my grip.
But I hold on, so my heart won't rip.
I pull you closer, but you turn away.
Don't worry, tomorrow is a brand new day.
