Keep Holding On

I thought I had myself all figured out But I spent my whole life holding myself down And it seems to be that sort of thing I keep doing constantly Addicted to the pain I cause myself My head is floating somewhere in the clouds While I'm paid to entertain a lovely crowd They sing my songs and feel my pain Cause pain is what creates my fame A vicious cycle some day I'll get out I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on It's hard enough try walking in my shoes, To be picked on by my peers who much abuse And I'm tired of not fitting in true friends is my final wish Just let me be myself and make it through. I have tried so hard to be a better soul I have worked so hard at making myself whole And through it all my better years are still ahead my mind is clear Just trust me when I say I'm in control I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on I believe I'm just like you I believe I'll make it through It's hard to see at times like this But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in I believe I'm just like you I believe I'll make it through It's hard to see at times like this But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in And all I need is a microphone I'll sing about the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on

How can one fall, all the time and climb again? How does one heart feel so lost, to find again? How can one road, lead, the way today? Before, givin it all... I wish I could fly to the top of the mountains, So that I could see just how far this will go. Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin' on. How does one give all they got, (trust) receive the half? How does one live day to day (day), forget the past? I'm all here on my own,(if so) Imma do this all alone. I can never live and be afraid, yeah... I wish I could fly to the top of the mountains, So that I could see just how far this will go. Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin' on. Against the wind, I'm not givin' in, I once spoke to A prophet he said don't stop til' you got it (ooooh) I'm not feeling fooled, I'm not letting go (no), They trynna break me down but I'm not fraction (no) for all we know, This rock keep roll, would it just be the translation to unstoppable, Before the world recall those in, I wish I had win, to pretend and then. Then maybe I could... Fly to the top of the mountains, so that I could see Just how far this will go... Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin' on (eeeh) Holdin' on, (eeeh), holdin on (eeh), holdin on... Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin...

I'm holding on As time goes by I keep holding on But I can't let it show So hard I tried for so long So hard I cried for so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go All this time you're on my mind I feel so tied to you And though I tried so hard to prove I'm never over you Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go I'm holding on As time goes by I keep holding on But I can't let it show So hard I tried for so long So hard I cried for so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go I'm holding on As time goes by I keep holding on But I can't let it show So hard I tried for so long So hard I cried for so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go 'Cause I'm holding on I'm holding on For so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go All this time you're on my mind I feel so tied to you And though I tried so hard to prove I'm never over you Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go

I'm not ready to get over you Over you, over you 'Cause pain's the only thing that's left from you Left from you, left from you And even though I'm 'bout to lose myself I'm just not ready yet to lose you too (ready yet to lose you too) 'Cause I will rather keep on going through hell If hell is where I can be close to you I keep on holding on to all the pieces Remindin' me of you and me It's been countless hours, a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (all that I see) No-no-no-nobody knows me better than you But since you left, I kinda feel like my life's stuck in a loop (A-a-a) a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (I keep on holding on) People ask me if I'm better now Better now, better now But I'll be honest, I just don't know how Don't know how, don't know how And even though I'm 'bout to lose myself I'm just not ready yet to lose you too (ready yet to lose you too) 'Cause I will rather keep on going through hell If hell is where I can be close to you I keep on holding on to all the pieces Remindin' me of you and me It's been countless hours, a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see I keep on holding on to all the pieces Remindin' me of you and me It's been countless hours, a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (all that I see) No-no-no-nobody knows me better than you But since you left, I kinda feel like my life's stuck in a loop (A-a-a) a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (I keep on holding on)
