Part One 03:03
Hold her in Your arms When I can't hold her in mine Hold her in Your arms When I can't hold her in mine I'm wearing holes in the knees of my jeans 'Cause I believe You listen to me I'm wearing holes in the knees of my jeans 'Cause I believe You listen to me Hold her in Your heart Like I hold her in mine Hold her in Your heart Like I hold her in mine I'm wearing holes in the knees of my jeans 'Cause I believe You listen to me I'm wearing holes in the knees of my jeans 'Cause I believe You listen to me, oh!

Some people think that rules keep us alive You're only worth your shirt and your tie If you don't own these then you're not worth a damn And you will surely die Crawl up a mountain on your hands and knees If you are in pain then God's wrath is appeased You can't be happy is what you believe And you have surely died You look at me through the places I've been The first stone is cast from the one with no sin Here in this place where I do not fit in I will surely die And in the darkness the truth surely comes The cold of the night where righteousness falls Where you are standing I do not belong And I have surely died Hold on Sisters and Brothers Hold on, hold on to each other We can, we can be stronger We can, we can be stronger

I spend all my days pretending Things that don't matter, matter to me When things are bad my heart starts leaking From my eyes to the backs of my sleeves And though you seek you may not find The things in life that make you smile The road is hard my troubles deep And I am tired but I can't sleep I spend all my days pretending There's still something left for me to see And when I do I get this feeling From my head to the soles of my feet Over and over and over again I feel like I've gone right back to the start On days like these I can't help thinking You and I should never be apart And though you seek you may not find The things in life that make you smile The road is hard my troubles deep And I am tired but I can't sleep

Part Two 02:49
If you don't love me Then you should probably leave And although it hurts to say We will be better off this way When you made your choice You left me without a voice With nothing left to say and no way to make you stay I don't want you If you don't want me I wish this were true 'Cause then I'd be free You left to be happy Turns out that this does not involve me I'm starting to resent That I brought you joy with my absence If you don't love me Then you should probably leave And although it hurts to say We will be better off this way I don't want you If you don't want me I wish this were true 'Cause then I'd be free

Part Three 02:02
You said you saw it coming I swear that I did not I thought we'd keep on loving 'Till I asked you if you'd tie the knot But you had different ideas And now I'm full of fear 'Cause it's the first time that I've been Alone in almost two years
