Hold The Ones You Love Close

We're all giving up our lives for a rare breed of friend
Hold the ones you love close
Keep your jealousy closer still
Keep your mind
Keep your heart
Keep your will
But please let me in
Let me inside
I wanna feel alive

It's gotta be a flame if you want to feel the burn
It's time to get lost outside, and never go back home

I need to believe
The heart on my sleeve used to be bleeding but now all the blood's run dry
If you'd only be the completion of me
I agree to try

We're all giving up our lives for a rare breed of friend
Hold the ones you love close
Keep your enemies closer still
Keep your mind
Keep your heart
Keep your will
But please let me in
Let me inside
I need, I need to feel alive

It's gotta be a flame if you want to feel the burn
It's time to get lost outside, and never go back home

I need to believe
The heart on my sleeve used to be bleeding but now all the blood's run dry
If you'd only be the completion of me
I agree to try

I can't offer you anything more than myself (Some rules are made for breaking)
And I'm not even sure I can offer you that (Some risks are worth the taking)
I'm the closest a man can get to a disaster (Don't take more than I'm giving)

If you'd only be the completion of me
I'd be the closest I can be to alive

To hold the affections of such as you is beyond my reach
Your parents' broken porcelain resounding heavily in your ears
Don't be a victim of them
The walls the damaged people build to hold the world at bay
This is who we are and how we'll stay
