sometimes when no one is around
the joke's on me and I break down
but this is not a joke, no not tonight
so I wait lonely for your call
my hands braced only for the fall
tell gravity I won't put up a fight
hold me
hold me
I am not ok this time
you think I'm crying wolf but I'm just crying
hold me
hold me
make this feeling go away
and if and when it does then could you stay?
the truth is not a pretty place
fire's so much hotter in your face
but you stare it down and cover up the burns
So I stumble for them like a fool
just make 'em laugh and they're all cool
but they don't see the messed up heart that yearns
hold me
hold me
keep me here for one more day
there's nothing clever I can think to say
hold me
hold me
take me in your arms I pray
wrap me up in love so I don't ever fade away
