To hold on (a letter to my 16 year old self) Lyrics

Hey

You weren't what I thought you'd be

In the stories I used to dream up

When I was lonely between

The other kids

Hey

The things I wanted you to live

You didn't live a single one

But you know what? You were alive

So that's a start

I know that things didn't go as planned, but

I hope you're not scared, I know you are, but

Even when it seems that there is nothing left

For you, it's not the end

I know you wish that you were not here, and

I know you don't know where you'd like to be, and

I wish that I had the words you need

But I don't

I can only tell you to hold on

Just try to hold on to what you can

Because someday there will be brighter days

And all these dark days will all be passed

I can only tell you to hold on

Just try to hold on to what you can

Because someday there will be brighter days

So try to hold on, onto the light
