Hold on

Clare Burson

The words that I spoke
Came out crooked and broke
Before I could straighten them out
The curses I cried came out harsher this time
Than the last time I cried out

But I just want everything right
Rosebud lipped kisses in lullaby light
So when everything I say seems wrong
Hold on, hold on, hold on

All the things that you loved,

I emptied you of
Before I could put them all back
Whatever I did was again and again
It was something that I could not stop

'Cause I'm losin' sleep

The pinafore's gone
Ain't no use holdin' on to the way that it was
But I promise I'll try to do better next time
I'll do better next time
