Hold Tight - Undercast

It’s been fifteen years since we left you on the street

I didn’t see a single tear roll down your cheek

Not that I cared, I was barely four years old

But Mum was right, we were both just moving on

But that’s what you couldn’t see, wasn’t sure if you really wanted me

Now I’m 21 years old, so what’s seven months, you couldn’t even fucking call

You always say you’re proud of me, but these autumn leaves fall like my

self-esteem

I’ll hold tight my insecurities

I left Dad back in Anna-Bay with every single thing we made

Through the glass I watched you disappear, was the coldest winter day that year

And I’m grateful, not that I have shown it

Never from a lack of love, more like a useless poet

You always say you’re proud of me, but these autumn leaves fall like my

self-esteem

I’ll hold tight my insecurities

Spring time came so suddenly, bet you couldn’t even bear to see the better man

I’d grown to be

Now I’m starting to realize the choices you made will never shape me

Now I’m starting to come to terms with all the thoughts that cloud my head

«We'll make it through you’ll see», that’s what you said to me

«We'll make it through you’ll see», that’s what you said to me

You always say you’re proud of me, but these autumn leaves fall like my

self-esteem

I’ll hold tight my insecurities

Spring time came so suddenly, bet you couldn’t even bear to see the better man

I’d grown to be

I’ll watch these autumn leaves, hold tight my insecurities

I’ll watch these autumn leaves, blow them away my summer breeze
