Anna Gaddie - Holding On

Intro verse 1 I try to keep my dreams real, looking straight ahead I’m losing sleep, fighting hard, holding my breath There is a weight pressing down on my chest Try to lift it up, to get it out, but there it rests Bridge It’s a straight down spiral to hell I’m afraid Cause when you deal with the devil, he’s gotta get paid And when your heart runs out of happiness You will pray for the days of ignorant bliss Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone To the things I’ve let go Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up to fast While it feels to slow When all you’re doing, is trying to get by When all you’re doing is waiting to die verse 2 Keep my feet still, on the ground one step at a time Take a single breath, in and out, you’ll be alright Put on a face, fake a smile, don’t look down Steady yourself, open your eyes, try not to drown Bridge 2 It’s a constant day of stormy clouds And empty heats, and broken vows When everyone is on cloud nine Just cling to the hope that you’ll be fine Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone To the things I’ve let go Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up too fast While it all feels too slow When all you’re doin is just trying to get by When all you’re doing is just waiting to die And everything is broken and everything is wrong And everything would be okay, you just need to move on Bridge It’s a straight down spiral to hell I’m afraid Cause when you deal with the devil he’s gotta get paid And when your heart runs out of happiness You will pray for the days of ignorant bliss Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone To the ones I’ve let go Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up too fast While it all feels too slow Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone To the ones I’ve let go Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up too fast While it all feels too slow When all you’re doing is just trying to get by When all you’re doing is just waiting to die Outro
