Holding On For Dear Life (Holding On To Love)

by Barbara   Feb 5, 2008


I'm holding on with all I am,
but still your slipping away.
I'm hoping, wishing and praying you don't leave
But you're the only one who decides if you stay.
You always seem to just be fading away.

Your love and your voice are my life support.
With that, there's nothing I can not survive.
Dear god, dear love. Can't you see,
I'm hanging on for dear life
Help me make it out alive.

I'm almost anticipating those parting moments.
If nothing more than to prepare for the pain.
Prepare for that grief that I've felt before.
Each time, more than I could sustain.
That pain and loneliness even still courses through my veins.

Your love and your voice are my life support.
But, I don't know how much longer I can survive.
Dear god, dear love can't you see,
I'm hanging on for love and life
I'm barely making it out alive.

I don't know how to rid myself of these doubts.
But maybe this is how it has to be.
I gave you everything I could
What more could you want from me?
I'll cry these tears for you that you'll never see.

Your love and your voice WERE my life support.
But now I'm living all alone.
It's a shame you couldn't see,
my love was stronger than any other you could've known.
I don't need your help anymore, I can make it on my own.
