"Hold On" Lyrics

I don't know how I could ever have understood myself.
To be fine all in my own world or with any other girl
holding my hand. I don't know why the day breaks just
when I'm ready to begin. It's like all that once had
a purpose now won't have a purpose if you stay gone.
Now I'm stuck here singing these love songs to someone
who don't care. Now I'm sending these thought filled
letters to the middle of nowhere.
Hold on. Hold on to the one you have and listen to
her voice that sings you to sleep at night.
Hold on. Hold on and never let go.
When I did, yeah when I did,
I lost my whole world. I don't know why I did treat
her how I did in November.
Now if I can say anything truthful,
over and above all, it's I miss her and so I'm stuck
here giving these insights to a girl who has no brains.
I swear, early tomorrow morning I'm getting back on
that train to hold on. Ring around our young sensations.
Forgot about life's tribulations and in the midst I
turned away; thought life was free,
thought life was gay. I tried to find the queen of
diamonds, when she was right behind me crying.
A thousand miles went by my face before I realized
when you're hungry you must hold on.
Hold on, never let go, when I did,
yeah when I did, I gained my whole world.
