Hold On

What a novel way to be forgotten
Who could know that limbo felt like this?
With six kids and so many years behind us
Now to find you're too busy for a kiss
But I can hold on, hold on to our life

Oh, the home it bores me, I cannot lie
With nobody here it's just a cave
The drinks may numb, the pills sedate me
Some days just getting up is being brave
And even when you're near me you never hear me
But I can hold on, hold on to our life
Show me love, don't stand me up, show me something
Give me your heart or go away

He's taken every part of me
The mind and soul and heart of me
And if my life is taken up, then what's the use of breaking up
It's like an old man playing a new song
He plays a strange chord and all the sound's wrong
Can't take a new path now every path is gone
But I'll hold on, hold on
