  • It's a frightening night, and the wind has a roar
    It seeps through the hall, and from under the door
    Like the shit that was said
    Can take it that well
    I give and I give and I give and I give and I'm still
    Hurtin' from this, from the love that's been starved
    I know I got close but I'm sure it's to far
    From the point of suspense, we know it should be
    The end of the part, of our favorite movie
    When the guy grabs the girl and gives her his hand
    Says take me away from this torch in this land
    'Cause the grave is set up, the hole that I dug
    I gave and I gave and I gave and I gave you my trust
    Like the time that we kissed, and you gave me a lie
    To act of this scene you pretended to cry
    But I'm here and I'm cool, the way that it is
    Just give me a chance and I'll try to forgive

    And I don't know
    And I can't guess it's gonna be okay but now
    My last wish is that you do this with me
    Kiss me here, and hold my hand
    Let me feel like I'm the only one
    I know you can
    Won't you do if for me now

    I really had it with the rain and the tears
    The predictable storm that has come every year
    And it sneaks from the shore with the bat in its hand
    I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I can't
    You're a thief and a witch, but if love you to death
    You steal my heart and curse under your breath
    But the one thing that I will most willing prove
    That when you are gone I'll be fine without you

    And I don't know
    And I can't guess it's gonna be okay but now
    My last wish is that you do this with me
    Kiss me here, and hold my hand
    Let me feel like I'm the only one
    I know you can
    Won't you do if for me now

    Now just hold on, hold on to me
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
    Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Writer/s: THOMAS DELONGE
