[INTRO]
Yeah…
Don’t let me go…
I swear I’m trying…
I just don’t know how to stop…
(Giancarlo on the strings)
[HOOK]
Hold on babe, hold on to me, I’ll have you turn into a believer
I can’t quit now, if I quit these withdrawals will turn you into a griever
My hands are fucking shaking, every breath I take cuts deeper
If this poison’s gonna kill me, baby, be my pain reliever
Skin crawling, teeth are grinding, I can feel the fever
Heart pounding through my chest like it’s trying to leave me either
I keep begging for the feeling even though I know it’s evil
I’m fucking terrified of dying, but I’m more afraid of being sober
[VERSE 1]
3 AM, I’m staring at the ceiling again
Sweat on my sheets, feel the shaking begin
You’re lying next to me, but I feel miles away
I wanna tell you I’m okay, but I don’t know what to say
My body wants the poison, my heart wants you
Every promise that I made, I keep breaking in two
You look into my eyes like you’re searching for me
But I’m buried underneath everything I used to be
[PRE-HOOK]
And I hate what I’ve become
I hate what I’ve done
You keep reaching for my hand
While I keep reaching for the numb
[HOOK]
Hold on babe, hold on to me, I’ll have you turn into a believer
I can’t quit now, if I quit these withdrawals will turn you into a griever
My hands are fucking shaking, every breath I take cuts deeper
If this poison’s gonna kill me, baby, be my pain reliever
Skin crawling, teeth are grinding, I can feel the fever
Heart pounding through my chest like it’s trying to leave me either
I keep begging for the feeling even though I know it’s evil
I’m fucking terrified of dying, but I’m more afraid of being sober
[VERSE 2]
I hear your voice when the room gets quiet
Tell me I’m worth saving, but I don’t feel like it
You say, “Come home,” but I don’t know where home is
I built these walls so high, now I’m trapped within my own shit
I’ve watched you cry while I swore I would change
Then watched another sunrise feeling exactly the same
If I could trade these withdrawals for the pain that I caused
I’d take every fucking scar just to give you back what you lost
[BRIDGE]
Maybe I’m not too far gone…
Maybe there’s still something underneath this
If you can hear me through the static…
Baby, please don’t leave me—
[FINAL HOOK]
Hold on babe, hold on to me, I’ll have you turn into a believer
I can’t quit now, if I quit these withdrawals will turn you into a griever
My hands are fucking shaking, every breath I take cuts deeper
If this poison’s gonna kill me, baby, be my pain reliever
Skin crawling, teeth are grinding, I can feel the fever
Heart pounding through my chest like it’s trying to leave me either
I keep begging for the feeling even though I know it’s evil
I’m fucking terrified of dying, but I’m more afraid of being sober
[OUTRO]
Hold on…
Don’t let me fade…
I’m still somewhere underneath this…
Just hold on…
Hold on to me
…
…
Please
