"Hang On" Lyrics

(Verse 1)
You've ripped your pictures down,
They're torn and on the floor,
Screaming words to me,
That I have heard before.
Cos I might crumble when you say,
That it's me you think of all day,
And I'm the one that keeps you hanging on.
Can't you see,
How much pressure,
You're putting on me?
Cos I can't always help,
You gotta do things by yourself.

(Chorus)
What will you do when I,
Can't be right by your side?
So I'll keep you hanging on,
At least until I'm gone.
Cos I need you alive,
I can't have you go and die.

(Verse 2)
And now you've emptied out your room,
It's just you and one chair now,
You're rocking back and forth,
And I'm begging you to come down.
So just ignore your burning palace,
Take a breath and get your balance,
I'll get you down here,
One step at a time.
Can't you see,
That I need you,
Just not the way that you need me?
Cos I can't always help,
You gotta do things by yourself.

(Chorus)

(Hard to understand.)

Can't you see,
How much pressure,
You're putting on me?
Cos I can't always help,
You gotta do things by yourself.

(Chorus)
