Hold Me Over

Tell me I’m smart

Tell me I’m better sober

That I’m a laugh

Something to hold me over

Am I a dream?

All encompassing?

But you don’t have to lie

Tell me I’m loved

Tell me I’m good when we go slower

That I’m always right

And I’m never getting older

I wanna believe that I’m good enough

For anybody

But I don’t wanna lie

So who do I get to blame for letting you take away

Everything?

When you don’t know what you’ve done

You don’t even know what you’ve done

But you should be able to tell when my body won’t respond

Couldn’t admit it ‘til you were gone

I just wanna be gone

Crying on the hospital lawn

So tell me I’m smart

Tell me I’m better sober

That I’m a laugh

Something to hold me over
