You Hold Me Together
Embracing Resilience: You Hold Me Together
Lyrics
By now I should've been broken
Despite expectations, I should have been emotionally or mentally shattered by now.
On the rocks arisin' life's ocean
Life's challenges should have overwhelmed me, like a ship in distress on rough waters.
Just another ship lost at sea
I should have been lost and directionless, akin to a ship lost at sea.
By now I should've been scattered
My existence should have been scattered or fragmented.
In the wind of my lonesome travels
My life should have been aimless and carried away by isolation.
Like a thousand dandelion seeds
Similar to dandelion seeds scattered by the wind, my life should have dispersed.
And I should've come unraveled
I should have fallen apart and lost control.
At the seams like a well-worn sweater
Just like a well-used sweater showing signs of wear and tear, I should have been worn out.
But you hold me together
Despite all this, you are the one who keeps me intact or composed.
My hope should've been shattered
My optimism or belief should have been completely destroyed.
Like a bottle out behind some tavern
Similar to a discarded bottle behind a bar, my hope should have been abandoned after facing unbeatable odds.
From a fight that you had no chance to win
From a situation where success was impossible.
My dream should've been ashes
My aspirations should have turned to nothing or been destroyed.
Gone up in smoke like a book of matches
Like matches burnt out and useless, my dreams should have been wasted.
Tossed away and never gonna burn again
Thrown away without any chance of fulfillment.
And I should've worn right through
I should have been worn out or exhausted.
Like an old cowboy's boot leather
Similar to the worn leather of an old cowboy's boot, I should have been weathered and deteriorated.
But you hold me together
However, despite this, you are the one who keeps me whole or intact.
I feel your love surrounding me
I sense your love surrounding me, providing immense strength.
Strong enough that I can believe
It's powerful enough for me to have faith or trust.
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
No challenge or difficulty will be insurmountable because of this support.
'Cause you hold me together
It's your support that keeps me composed or stable.
Together, yeah
Together, with your support.
I feel your love surrounding me
Similar sentiment expressed again - feeling surrounded by your love.
Strong enough that I can believe
Emphasizing the strength of this love, providing a strong belief.
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
Reiterating that no storm in life will be too challenging to face.
No there'll never be a storm that I can't weather
Ensuring that there will never be a challenge too great to overcome.
I should've been long forgotten
I should have faded into obscurity or been completely forgotten by now.
Just a footnote down at the bottom
Just a mere footnote in the story of missed opportunities or what-ifs.
Of a page in the book of what could've beens
My essence or existence should have been lost among unfulfilled possibilities.
My heart should lie in pieces
My emotions or feelings should have been shattered into pieces.
On the ground like a goodbye letter
Similar to a letter of goodbye, my heart should have been broken and left behind.
But you hold me together, oh
Yet, despite everything, it's your support that keeps me intact.
You hold me together, yeah
Reaffirmation of how you're the one who keeps me whole.
You hold me together
Reiteration of your role in maintaining my stability.
Together, yeah
Together, with your unwavering support.
Ooh, you hold me, you hold me
Emphasizing again how you're the one holding me together.
Together, oh
Repeating the sentiment of being held together by you.
