Hold Me Close

I was lost, didn't know where I was going
And I felt the chill, of cold wind blowing
I didn't know, just who I was becoming
I felt so alone, I was tired of running
And then I saw you

You changed my perspective
Made me see what I don't need
Put pressure on my heart
Where it used to bleed
And I'd hold you close
If you gave me the chance
And I would smile
Being stuck in your trance
I'd throw life away
Just to be by your side
I know it won't happen
But at least I tried

Hold me close
I need to experience you first hand
Throw me away
I won't like it but I'll understand
Hold me close
So close

I was feeling like I was running on empty
So confused, you know I just couldn't see
Things for what they really were
I thought I was nothing without her
And then I saw you

You turned me around
You picked me up when I fell down
Dusted me off then walked away
Now I know everything's okay
And I can't name all the things I would do
Just for a chance to be close to you

Hold me close
I need to experience you first hand
Throw me away
I won't like it but I'll understand
Hold me close
So close

And we're living in a world of pain
Our feelings will never be the same
Just know that I'll be here for you
And I thank you for what you helped me through
I was helpless and confused
Then I saw you

You hurt me
Healed me
Took me
Broke me
Drew me near and pushed me back
I love you
Hate you
Hold you
Drop you
Show you the light then turn to black
I owe you everything
