Hold On

[Verse 1]
I cried in your bed when I was nineteen
And lied when you asked what was hurting me
Made a joke about it and then gathered my things
And said I'm sorry about all that

[Pre-Chorus]
Was I trying to apologize
For any one thing I could identify?
Or for being confusing and then leaving in the night?
Oh no, what can you do with that?

[Chorus]
If I could hold on to what I take for granted
Feel it in between my hands
Worlds would open up to me
I would understand

[Verse 2]
You cried when I told you that I needed time
My grandfather dying at ninety-five
You said, "I'm sure it hurts you, but was it really on your mind
When we were doing all that?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Was I trying to apologize
For being too ashamed to lеt you inside?
Or for using your attention as a place I could hidе?
An issue I'll never unpack

[Chorus]
If I could hold on to what I take for granted
Feel it in between my hands
Worlds would open up to me
I would understand, 'stand
If I could hold on to what I take for granted
Feel it in between my hands
Worlds would open up to me
I would understand, 'stand

[Outro]
I would understand
I would understand
