Hold Me Steady

Better
Alone is better
I will never be let down again
By love or a friend
Better
Alone is better
To have no one on whom I can depend
Just me to the end

Brick by brick
I take my time building my walls
Bloody hands
Battered heart
Until I fall on the very last part
All in all the ground's never really been that far
The wind roars and I accept my fate
My breath steals as a string snaps into place
And we find ourselves face to face

Tied to you
Tied to you
I never knew
Every moment would come to this
And just when I thought I was through
You walked in and I made room
You hold your hands out amidst the storm
Wrap your arms around me despite the thorns
My burdens - they don't feel as heavy
And as I burn, you hold me steady

I don't
I say I don't
Care if someone can learn to love me
'Cause with time, love just means goodbye
But you don't waiver as you hold
All my pieces, cutting into you like knives
Like you'd do this for life

Brick by brick
I take my time building my walls
Bloody hands
Battered heart
Until I fall on the very last part
All in all the ground's never really been that far
The wind roars and I accept my fate
My breath steals as a string snaps into place
And we find ourselves face to face

Tied to you
Tied to you
I never knew
Every moment would come to this
And just when I thought I was through
You walked in and I made room
You hold your hands out amidst the storm
Wrap your arms around me despite the thorns
My burdens - they don't feel as heavy
And as I burn, you hold me steady

Hold me
You hold me steady
Hold me
Hold me
(You don't waiver as you hold)
(Oh, you hold me steady)
Hold me
(I accept my fate as a string snaps into place)
(Oh, you hold me)
Hold me
Hold me
As we find ourselves face to face
