Lyrics
I know you're mad when you can't even look at me in my eyes
Feeling the anger or upset when you avoid direct eye contact with me
And when you say you're sad, I need you better, make it worse when I try
When you express sadness, my attempts to help seem to worsen the situation
But when you say nothin', it's like you stuck a knife in my side
Your silence hurts me deeply, akin to a painful betrayal
I know the feeling, it's not easy being stuck with me tonight
Understanding the difficulty of being with me presently
To make things right, these things take time
Resolving things requires time and effort
So hold me, hold me 'til the river runs dry
Desiring to be held until there's no more emotional energy left
I'm holding, holding onto you for dear life
Clutching onto you desperately, afraid of losing you
'Cause I never know the words to say, but you forgive me anyway
Admitting inability to express the right words, yet hoping for forgiveness
Even though we both know I'm the reason you cry
Acknowledging being the cause of your tears, despite your forgiveness
Do you need a break, need some space, need to change your mind ways?
Asking if you need a break or space to reconsider
Should I get away, get a place for a couple of days?
Considering the idea of taking time apart for a while
I'm afraid if I change, you won't look at me the same
Fearful that changing might alter how you perceive me
I wanna be your only shoulder when you have a bad day
Wanting to be the only one you rely on during tough times
So hold me, hold me 'til the river runs dry
Desiring to be held tightly despite the difficulties
I'm holding, holding onto you for dear life
Clutching onto you desperately, afraid of losing you
I never know the words to say, but you forgive me anyway
Recognizing the inability to find appropriate words for apology
Even though we both know I'm the reason
Acknowledging responsibility despite knowing I've caused pain
We've been arguing more than we usually do
Noticing an increase in our arguments, deviating from our norm
I know I deserve what you're putting me through
Accepting deserving the consequences of my actions
If you mean what you say and you want me to go
Considering leaving if that's what you truly want
If that's what you want, then I want you to know
Expressing readiness to accept your decision if it's for the best
I'll stay the night if that's alright
Willing to stay over to make amends
To make things right, these things take time
Understanding that fixing things requires time and effort
So hold me, hold me 'til the river runs dry
Desiring to be held tightly despite the difficulties
I'm holding, holding onto you for dear life
Clutching onto you desperately, afraid of losing you
Because I never know the words to say, but you forgive me anyway
Recognizing the inability to find appropriate words for apology
So hold me and hold me 'til the day that I die
Desiring to be held until the end of life
