hold on

this world, this world is cold
but you don't, you don't have to go
you're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely
and no one seems to care
your mother's gone and your father hits you
this pain you cannot bear

but we all bleed the same way as you do
and we all have the same things to go through

hold on, if you feel like letting go
hold on, it gets better than you know

your days, you say they're way too long
and your nights, you can't sleep at all
hold on
and you're not sure what you're waiting for
but you don't want to know more
you're not sure what you're looking for
but you don't want to know more

but we all bleed the same way as you do
and we all have the same things to go through

hold on, if you feel like letting go
hold on, it gets better than you know
don't stop looking you're one step closer
don't stop searching it's not over
hold on

what are you looking for?
what are you waiting for?
do you know what you're doing to me?
go ahead...what are you waiting for?

hold on, if you feel like letting go
hold on, it gets better than you know
don't stop looking you're one step closer
don't stop searching it's not over

hold on, if you feel like letting go
hold on, it gets better than you know
hold on

if you leave

if you leave, don't leave now
please don't take my heart away
promise me just one more night
then we'll go our seperate ways
we always had time on our side
now it's fading fast
every second, every moment
we've got to, we've gotta make it last
i touch you once, i touch you twice
i wont let go at any price
i need you now like i needed you then
you always said we'd still be friends someday
if you leave i wont cry
i won't waste a single day
but if you leave, no dont look back
i'll be running the other way
seven years went under the bridge
our time was standing still
heaven knows what happens now you've gotta
you've gotta say you will
i touch you once, i touch you twice
i wont let go at any price
i need you now like i needed you then
you always said we'd still be friends someday, someday
i touch you once, i touch you twice
i wont let go at any price
i need you now like i needed you then
you always said we'd still be friends someday
oh, if you leave
oh, if you leave
oh, if you leave (oh tell me now you won't leave)
oh, if you leave (oh tell me now you won't leave)
please don't leave

and the cool kids beat us up,
[reduced lunch]
and the rich kids had convertibles
and we had to ride the bus

but they still laughed at us
[you still suck]
like the time that girl broke up with me
cause i wasn't cool enough
