Hold Me Close

There's trouble out there, I have seen it in your face.
All the madness, it leaves an empty faith in you,
Oh, in you.
The little things can start to take over your life
And I admit they sometimes keep me up at night with you,
Oh, with you.
For you, I'd split the world in two.

Hold me close,
Don't leave like the rest
'Cause I spend too much time inside my head.
I'm a mess.
I'm fragile at best.
The heart is only as open as we allow,
And mine can't keep up with how I'm aging now.

The past is nothing more than visions and ideas,
Imaginary places, imaginary fears.
And I'm way too young to be this bitter sort of man,
So wake me up and help me do the best I can for you.
Oh, for you.
For you, I'd split the world in two.

Hold me close,
Don't leave like the rest
'Cause I spend too much time inside my head,
And I struggle with the words to make amends.
When I'm feeling down, you've got to keep me close,
'Cause I'm way too tough to let my feelings go.
