Hold On

i took all the pictures off of the wall
because i couldnt stand the eyes as they stared back at me
in their silence i know they recall
all the things that i keep bottled up all of my memories

searching my soul
i found some things
that i shall never repeat
loking back at my younger self
i cannot believe

how could i have been that person
how could ihave been so hateful and so mean
i guess you could call it an awkward phase
i spent six years of my life stuck in between

the spaces that are left
they are seemingly empty
they once were filled with all my regrets
i let it all go so simply

i wish i had kown how to let go all those years before

i wasted my time with bad company
i did a few things without any thinking
its hard to believe that i ever was that person
but i guess that it all has a meaning
in the end you could say it made me, me

who i am today
is not what i used to be
so jealous and spiteful
its all now a memory
preserved in the eyes
of a photograph of a teen
thats lost in his own shadows
and feeling so empty

" Hold On
dont ever let life go
dont pull the trigger
i promise it gets better
if you would change your mind "

i walked down from the balcony
i couldnt find a reason to stay
or a reason to leave
i left all my hate bottled up inside
it was so intoxicating that i couldnt see

the things i destroyed
with harsh words of anger
the holes in my heart
were hidden and deep
in my youth

i saw things that one should never see
and words i had said left them in disbelief
noone would ever understand
and i didnt trust anyone to take my hand

" Hold On
dont ever let life go
dont pull the trigger
i promise it gets better
if you would change your mind "

the words of adults
resonated in my resentful ears
i never wanted to hear
what they had to say
they didnt know me anyway

just because i was in trouble all the time
didnt mean i was bad, i was still good
i swear i was just misunderstood
the washed their hands of me
threw in the towel and walked away clean

i tried to open their eyes
but they were blind they would never see
the hell i was in everyday
i cant believe i was ever strong enough to chase it away

" Hold On
dont ever let life go
dont pull the trigger
i promise it gets better
if you would change your mind "

Hold ON
to what you have in front of you
tomorrow may bring new things
or they may take what you have
its like playing the lottery

its all about persistance
and sticking with the hand your dealt
youll make it a winner
though its hard to see
give it another turn
dont light that match and let it all burn
as it destroys everything

" Hold On
dont ever let life go
dont pull the trigger
i promise it gets better
if you would change your mind "

your not too old
to change your mind
you can learn how to live
in the hell that your in
and make it all into something
just hold on
soon your days of wanting more will be done
you can have everything
you just got to keep believing
dont let it all go
hold on weve got one more show
hold on
hold on

all is not lost
it can all be saved
and if it doesnt come back to you
it never meant a thing

just because the door has been closed
doesnt mean theres no way out
put your decidions on hold
and find a way around
hold on, HOLD ON

" Hold On
dont ever let life go
dont pull the trigger
i promise it gets better
if you would change your mind "

Hold on
dont ever let your life go
open your eyes look past the bad see the things that are beautiful
Dont pull the trigger
i promise it gets better
all you have to do is find
one reason and jst change your mind

life gets better as you go on
dont ever give it up
just clench your fist and hold on
the answer wont always be no
so never let go

one day your gonna reach the sun
fly off into infinity and beyond
dont give up now just beleive when i say it gets better some how
keep going, dont say your life is done
and Hold on
things will be allright
so hold on tight , hold on
