Holding On - Henry Taylor

At night i often dream

Maybe cause this isn’t the life i want to lead

Miss being teen, come home from school, mum made my tea

Dad built his life to provide everything for me

My nan said i was a handsome grandson

But i girlfriend i never really had one

At school i never really had fun

Hoping it would just be done and i could get gone

Teachers said i had potential if i applied my self

But its hard when you’ve no confidence and hate yourself

After my parents divorce you can probably tell

Didn’t help the state my mental health

At the same time, trying to get by

Making friends at new school, wasn’t that guy

The kid who would cry, so you ask why

Kind and shy, left me on the outside

I’m still holding on

I Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

And I’m still holding on

I Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

But that wasn’t me, an outcast as it seems

People seemed to like me, going through puberty

Getting chubby, feeling ugly, and male sports teams

Getting changed in front of guys, that were sort of mean

With the added pressure of getting good grades

The opportunities that lay in your way

Going to private school, where fees get paid

So you wanted to listen to everything your teachers say

But your not academic

Head felt like it would explode like a bad head ache

Dont want to look stupid, when you make a mistake

So you don’t answer question to avoid the piss take

Though at home i got two of everything instead of wedding rings

Two playstations, two homes and two families

Thats not bragging 'cause i would have given anything

For things to go back to the way they were meant to be

I’m still holding on

I Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

And I’m still holding on

I Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

Now we never say i love you, but we know we still do

And we always will do, whatever we go through

And mum i miss you…

Doesn’t fit in this song but oh well its true

See i never thought i would want to go back

Those were the worst times that I’d ever had

Now I’m glad things are no longer like that

But id still give anything for me to go back

These lines might be to personal, probably unreversable

Before you start hate wait until you’ve heard them all

Before it goes down hill so much that it’s vertical

Honesty ma be brutal, I don’t do it on purpose though

Like I miss my sis, yet tension has risen

Fix our relationship, something seems to be missing

Maybe it’s I’m your older bro and you never seem to listen

And when i do something wrong i never seem to be forgiven

So forgive me

I’m still holding on

I Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

And I’m still holding on

I Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go

Need to let go, let go
