Nothing Here To Hold You

Learning to breathe 
As walls close in around you 
Learning to see 
The things that surround you 
Once you believed 
In every word he sold you 
There’s nothing here to hold you 

Learning to fly 
While things fall down around you 
You’re wasting your time 
With the people that surround you 
Don’t ask me why, 
But once you’re on your own 
You will soon realize – 
It’s true what I told you 

Real love is all 
It takes to walk away from comfort 
Real pain to know; 
Nothing scares you now 
Real life will show the naked truth 
In what I told you: 
There’s nothing here to hold you 

Learning to hide 
From memories you’ve built a life on 
They’ll wonder why 
The sudden change of mind? 
But just passing time 
No longer is an option 
you must re-organize, 
and feed the fire in your belly 


Real love is all 
It took to bring you back from sleep 
Real pain to know 
You are still alive 
Real life has shown 
The truth in everything I told you 
There’s nothing here to hold you 

You have come to despite 
Everyone who adores you 
So you wave your goodbyes 
To everything that bores you 
There’s a whole world outside 
And you know you shouldn’t buy it 
But you just have to try it 
Cuz there’s nothing here to hold you 

Real love was all 
It took to raise you from the dead 
Real pain to know 
You’re still inside your head 
Real life is all 
To see the truth in what I told you 
There’s nothing here to hold you 

Learning to fly 
A pair of broken wings 
But still you’re willing to try 
Cuz there’s nothing here to hold you
