Hold Me

You held me as you cried
As the tears rolled down your swollen cheeks
I spoke of jumping off the side
You held me as they drew the blood
And I quivered uncontrollably
From being given all those drugs
I need to be held sometimes
Or I'll die
Hold me for the rest of my life

And I'll try
To hold myself together
When you need to take some time
Oh, you held me all those nights
And I owe you something in return
So here I'm gonna stay right by your side

I need to be held tonight
But sometime
I'll hold on tight and help you survive
We all need someone to hold sometimes
You held me when the world said no
I was called abomination
But you never let me go
I know you'll hold me when they come with their guns
By the time they're banging down my door
You'll have given me the strength I need to run
I need to be held sometimes
Don't ask why
Hold me for the rest of my life
Hold me close and make it alright
Hold on tight and keep me alive
And I'll hold you for the rest of our lives
