I'm Holding On

I wrote this song about 4 years ago so to me its old I was a different person back then with different experiences, but the message in these words seems to still resonate.

I want you to know

That you're on your own
And forever will you live
Within this empty skin
Well you're holding on
To your life by a thread
Dangling over the ledge
Dangling over the ledge
"Chorus"
I'm holding on
To what I haven’t got
Hoping you will stay
I hope you'll find a way
To make it through pain
Even though it's just the same
You can learn how to walk away
I'm holding on

Why do you stand there?
Waiting around
Why do you feel like?
You're no where to be found

All these people scream and shout
Do they even know what it's about?
They’re telling you it's all right
To live for another night

But do they really even care
Or are they just scared
Scared to see the pain
The image in their brain’s
" Chorus"
I'm holding on
To what I haven’t got
Hoping you will stay
I hope you'll find a way
To make it through pain
Even though it's just the same
You can learn how to walk away
I'm holding on
“Bridge”
I’m holding strong
To what I haven’t got
You are falling away
To everything today
Well it feels like you’re here
But you’re so far away
You’re falling into decay
Don’t let go
Don’t let go
I’m never letting go
" Chorus"
I'm holding on
To what I haven’t got
Hoping you will stay
I hope you'll find a way
To make it through pain
Even though it's just the same
You can learn how to walk away
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Tell the rope comes undone
Hoping you will stay
I hope you'll find a way
To make it through pain
Even though it's just the same
You can learn how to walk away
I'm holding on

This def hit me, and with you knowing whats going on in my life I'm sure you get why.
I love it John. I can't believe you wrote this 4 years ago! Always was and always will be an outstanding writer. I love you very much!

Although you're a poet,you're also a songwriter!What I judge a good song by is simple:can the lyrics,verses and choruses be easily sung.Answer:Yes!The chorus "I'm holding on"really pops!Another oldie,but goodie!
