Lyrics
Still I Hold On
Now I've lost my balance, Hanging on by a thread over this desolate, tumbleweed wasteland below. And God, it's a long way down, But you've had my name for so long, I......sometimes I contemplate just letting go. My lifeline unraveling, if I fall from view, still I hold on to you. Time reeling, miles passing, ain't nothing new. Still I hold on to you. And no, and I won't let go of you.
You look holier tonight than I've ever seen. And I find comfort in your light. This is my final dream. In these hands I hold it all for the here and now. No, I'm not afraid to fall; I just don't know how.
All my strength has left me. It's so strange how it goes when you realize that you won't be holding on anymore. Something deep inside invades and won't let you let go. It's a ..... You know, it's a love that comes straight from the core. My lifeline unraveling, if I fall from view, still I hold on to you. Time reeling, miles passing, ain't nothing new. Still I hold on to you. No, and I won't let go of you.
