hold on

So easy to give it all up
When it gets a little tough
But just hold on, hold on to me

Don't let go of what it was
When you know you've found the one
Just hold on, hold on to me
But just hold on, hold on to me
Just hold on, hold on to me

I never claimed to be perfect
I know I made mistakes
Walk around faking smiles
Tryna see more cake

People watching me
They hoping I break
It's easier to tear me down
When you ain't carrying the weight
Look

I learned in life when I was young that people come and go
I learned you're on the path
That life is a lonely road
Friends change, seasons change, that's just how it goes
Every day now I'm watching family growing old, damn

I carry guilt because I ain't say goodbye to Jason
I hope you know how much I love you though I didn't say it
You came to me when I needed you the most
And what I'd give in life now
Just to have a conversation, damn

I hope my momma knows I love her though I damaged
And I'd do anything in life to help my family
But I've been going through the motions
I can't stand it
I hope I find some peace, at least I find a way to manage

So easy to give it all up
When it gets a little tough
But just hold on, hold on to me

Don't let go of what it was
When you know you've found the one
Just hold on, hold on to me

God damn first verse got me tripping
Aaron hit it so hard that I had to rewrite it
And I'm, so sorry that you lost your brother Jason
And I'm, so sorry you had trouble with your mother
And I heard in a snippet that you tried to take your own life
Cocked a gun back, then put it to your head
The pain you go through, I could never comprehend
The pain you go through, I could never understand

But I do know, you're a beautiful soul
Know you're feeling real low but you got so far to go
You got a talent for days, being honest when I heard your verse
I was amazed, and a little bit jealous
Cause I could never harness the emotion that you do in your song
So keep your head up
Man, you gotta be strong
And when you're feeling down, hit my line, then we'll talk
Ain't alone and I know that you're gonna live long

So easy to give it all up
When it gets a little tough
But just hold on, hold on to me

Don't let go of what it was
When you know you've found the one
Just hold on, hold on to me
But just hold on, hold on to me
Just hold on, hold on to me
