Hold Me Up - by Sam Baardman
Well I'm standing out here on one foot
And I've raised myself up on my toes
And I think I am ready to talk, my dear,
About all of our troubles and woes
Well, I must have an ear infection
I'm dizzy, and I can't find a wall
And all we are doing is talking
But I feel like I’m ready to fall
Hold me up if you're telling me you're leaving
Hold me up if you're telling me you're gone
Hold me up if you're telling me you're leaving
And I won't hold you up if you're walking out that door
I won't hold you up anymore
Hold me up
Hold me up
Well this morning you said that you loved me
But that's not what I saw in your eyes
And you said that you can't live without me
But I believe that you're telling me lies
Well my knees are beginning weaken
I'm shaking right down to the bone
It’s just that I can’t seem to remember
The last time that I've been alone
Hold me up if you're telling me you're leaving
Hold me up if you're telling me you're gone
Hold me up if you're telling me you're leaving
And I won't hold you up if you're walking out that door
I won't hold you up anymore
Hold me up
Hold me up
Well it's not that I can't live without you
And it's not that I can't take the pain
It’s just that I thought we’d be true, my dear
And I'd never go through this again
So you give back all the days that you've taken
I’ll take back all the things that I've said
You give back all the hopes and the dreams, oh yeah
And I'll take back all the tears that I've shed
Hold me up if you're telling me you're leaving
Hold me up if you're telling me you're gone
Hold me up if you're telling me you're leaving
And I won't hold you up if you're walking out that door
I won't hold you up anymore
Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up
