You believe because they tell you that’s what you should do
Giving you fantasies and false hopes to hold on to
Tragic how at first everything is exactly what you asked for
But when it’s all said and done you realize you don’t want it anymore
Day turned into night, happiness turned into fights the future no longer looked bright but you were still holding on
Countenance begins to fall, you’re facing a brick wall ready to give up on it all but you’re still being strong
Jumping to conclusions, living in illusions, loves no longer cruising and your souls about to break.
Looking for the exit, things are getting hectic, starting to regret this, how much more can you take
Remembering……When a shoulder to cry on meant that was a person to rely on
And things never stayed bad because you made up and moved on
Then it changed and it switched and somebody flipped the script
And it went from being good to you being ready to quit
But how? When you said that you would always hold on
And when they fell down you were the one being strong
But they let go, they dipped out, leaving you to fend for yourself
To chase a lie, leave you to die and never coming back to help
Endurance and determination were the qualities everyone knew you had
Yet they couldn’t understand how you went from good to being bad
So they check the family history to see if it stemmed from the past
Failing to look at the present they guesstimate on you real fast
Not seeing the whole picture and remaining mentally blind
They run with what they THINK they know and try to connect the lines
But you know and you saw that the friends you entertained
Would talk behind their backs while they did the same thang
TO YOU! So you run from the truth but in the end you can’t deny
You just face up to reality…that you were living in a lie
But you don’t let that break you and you still hold on
While in the back of your mind you’re wondering for how long
How long will you be able to stand without your legs giving out?
And you believe in yourself without giving in to doubt?
Now you start to fein to get back between that place where everything seemed to be just fine
And you hold on because in your heart you know that things have to get better with time
But how do you hold on when there seems to be nothing to hold on to?
You just hold on to your dreams and thoughts of being a better you
Giving you fantasies and false hopes to hold on to
Tragic how at first everything is exactly what you asked for
But when it’s all said and done you realize you don’t want it anymore
Day turned into night, happiness turned into fights the future no longer looked bright but you were still holding on
