Don't Hold On Too Tight

Smashed through
My peace of mind was torn apart
Ya blew through here like a hurricane
Yeah you

Smashed through
The what ifs and the fairy tales
The make believes and the mighta beens
You were so sure I would leave you on your own
I said I'm here to stay. Stage fright! True colours show

And the reminder
Hold on to love but don't hold on too tight
Aren't we all just ships passing in the night
A closing chapter. A cautionary tale
An over-reactor
So Hold on to love but don't hold on too tight
Don't hold on too tight

It's closing. They're closing
A ray chinks through the curtains
Uncertain. It's hurting
The worry setting in where them butterflies died
So we try to save face but still that trouble looms
I guess I sealed my fate. Here comes the doom

And the reminder
Hold on to love but don't hold on too tight
Aren't we all just ships passing in the night
Our final chapter
The final curtain call
A mediocre actor
So you can Hold on to love but don't hold on too tight
Don't hold on too tight

But I got you this rose, surely this was meant to be
I go off the script. I show you all there is to see
Another someone I never thought would leave
And as we're bowing out, another dead rose at my feet

So I say

Hold on to love but don't hold on too tight
Cos' aren't we all just ships passing in the night
No going back, yeah
Our big finale
There ain't nobody clapping
So you can hold on to love, just don't hold on too tight
Don't hold on too tight
