Hold Your Own -

I try my best to keep a positive mental attitude

The only way I can make it happen is pretending that I hate you

It’s a backwards mindset, I get it, but you weren’t easy to lose

And deep down, deep down, deep down we both know it isn’t true

I lost a lot of friends in two thousand and ten

But I thought you would be there ‘till the very bitter end

My mom sat me down on our broken couch

She said, not everyone will stick around, but you still have to

Hold your own

Life can be a bust most days but keep your head up and find a way to

Hold your own

Everything will be okay

I try my best to keep all of my expectations low

But my hopes are high, I can’t deny

This is running away

So I’ll have to face

Florida waves or Jersey snow just to get away from all I know

Route thirteen is telling me this is where we’re meant to be

But every time someone finds something better they always leave

My panic attacks are a regular thing

But Connecticut will never let me forget

Hold your own

Life can be a bust most days but keep your head up and find a way to

Hold your own

Everything will be okay

I’m getting obviously desperate

That song was always your favorite but never the way that I sang it

You left to go to college upstate and I still miss you every single day

That all hides behind the smile cracked on my face

Jealous and forgetful but I remember the things that count

Like how you said you cared, and then walked out

My wallet in my pocket and my heart stitched on my sleeve

So I guess that you can see, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be

Hold your own

Hold your own

Life can be a bust most days but keep your head up and find a way to

Hold your own

Everything will be okay

Hold your own

Everything will be okay

Hold your own

Everything will be okay

Hold your own

Life can be a bust most days but keep your head up and find a way to

Hold your own

Life can be a bust most days

Everything will be okay
