lyrics

Hold On Me
Music and lyrics: Karma-Ann Swanepoel

Still got that wry-side smile
At least when I think of it
And I can still hear you
Laugh in my head
At something you said

It hurts like hell
To know that I won't
See you again
It hurts like hell
To know that we're both
Better for it

‘Cause each time I see me
It's you looking back in my stead
And each time I hear me
Losing my temper is when
You still got a hold on me

I've lived this life once before
And it almost killed me
Watching these lines being drawn
The chaos that found me

And still your escape from this place
Hasn't changed anything at all

Still got this wasted time
Of what-ifs and whys
And I can still feel you
Pushing me down

It hurts like hell
To know that you did
This to yourself
It hurts like hell
To know that I'm here
By myself

With all of these voices
Spinning around in my head
Tell me forgiveness
Is the only way out of this mess
Henry let go of me

I've lived this life once before
And it almost killed me
Watching these lies dragging on
The chaos that found me

And still your escape from this place
Hasn't changed anything at all
I just miss you more

And each time I see me
It's you looking back in my stead
And each time I hear me
Singing my heart out is when
You still got a hold on me
