lyrics

When you walk around wearing red letters
When the worses have outweighed the betters
When you’re falling asleep, ‘stead of falling more deep
Feeling loneliest when you’re together

When you’d rather just come to an ending
‘Stead of keeping on breaking and mending
When the heart that’s not yours, though it pleads and implores
Don’t agree with the heart you’re defending

It’s time to hold your own
To find your peace all alone
To go where you’ve been afraid to go
And know that you will hold your own
You’ll hold your own

When the day always seems to escape you
And your demons all tell you they hate you
When you have all the things but you still dash your dreams
Cause failure’s so easy to relate to

When you know there’s a spark somewhere in you
And that’s how you manage to continue
When the matter of time’s at the front of the line
Better wake up and start to dig in, you know it’s

Time to hold your own
To find your peace all alone
To go where you’ve been afraid to go
And know that you will hold your own
You’ll hold your own
