I’m so tired of faking
Don’t know how to make it real
Cause I never let myself feel, until it takes me over
And it makes me feel like I’m somebody else
Maybe I hold onto people for too long
Cause it’s too difficult to admit people drift apart
And nobody’s at fault and sometimes there’s just no easy fix
Do I go through this torture just to avoid the disappointment?
I know there is so much more to me than this
Show me where the light is and take me home
I don’t even know what I mean anymore
Take me where it’s brightest and hold me close
I just wanna see the sun before it goes
Show me where the light is and take me home
I don’t even know what I’m searching for
Take me where it’s brightest and hold me close
I just wanna see the sun before it goes
I’m so tired of faking, always second-guessing
What I gotta do to make it stop? Cause I can’t take it
Really, don’t you get it? I’ve got nothing left to give
Holding onto hope, I guess I should give up
I know that it’s too soon to let you go, but now I’m breaking
I’m so tired of faking, tell me how to make it through
So show me where the light is and take me home
I don’t even know what I mean anymore
Take me where it’s brightest and hold me close
I just wanna see the sun before it goes
Show me where the light is and take me home
I don’t even know what I’m searching for
Take me where it’s brightest and hold me close
I just wanna see the sun before it goes
Do I go through this torture just to avoid the disappointment?
Cause I know that I can’t talk to you about this
So just show me where the light is and take me home
I don’t even know what I mean anymore
Take me where it’s brightest and hold me close
I just wanna see the sun before it goes
Show me where the light is and take me home
I don’t even know what I’m searching for
Take me where it’s brightest and hold me close
I just wanna see the sun before it goes
Holding onto hope, I know that it's hopeless
Oh, you’ve already gone
Holding onto hope, I know that it’s broken
I just wanna let you know
Holding onto hope, I know that it’s hopeless
Oh, we’ve already lost
Holding onto hope, I know that it’s over
I just wanna let you go, oh
Do I go through this torture?
You’ve already gone
I’m so tired of faking, don’t leave me alone
Thank you for watching my original song Holding Onto Hope!
I hope that you liked it. Pun intended.
I wrote this song about a lot of things, really.
I kind of wrote it in bits and pieces over a few months and then it came together
and I'm quite happy with the final product, personally
because it kind of encompasses the same emotion that I've had about a variety of situations
and to me it's about a situation that's hopeless
and you're still holding onto hope even though ultimately it would hurt less if you just let go.
And most recently I actually completed the song with a friendship in mind.
It was about losing a friendship and - not even so much losing the friendship; just losing the closeness that we used to have
and in some ways that kind of hurts more, because you know that you're still kind of friends
but you've just lost something that used to be there.
And it took me so long to realise that we'd lost it; and suddenly it just kind of hit me, like
we never really talk anymore, what's that about?
So it's been on my mind quite a lot lately.
Anyway, that's what it was about for me.
Let me know whether you liked it!
Let me know what your interpretation of the lyrics was because
just because it means something to me, it doesn't mean that it can't mean something else to you.
