Lyric

It hurt to see you crying, to watch you fall apart

I asked a thousand questions, I pushed into your heart

And when you turned to run, I felt the void inside

Lost within my own despair, with nowhere left to hide

I wiped away the tears that fell, I tried to make it right

I held you in my arms, and hoped to keep the light

That’s all it should have been, just a simple embrace

That’s all I needed, to find my saving grace

Oh, all I had to do, was hold you close to me

All I had to do, was let it simply be

Just a hold was enough, just a touch was all I needed

Why was I blind to the love that you pleaded?

Your soul was burning, screaming deep inside

I led you to the edge, where there’s nowhere to hide

The wandering eyes, the trembling heart, I let you slip away

And hell opened its mouth, in the light of the day

I caught the fragments falling, I tried to pull you back

From the brink of the abyss, and the shadow of the black

That’s what I should have done, that’s where I should have been

To save you from the darkness, to wash away the sin

Oh, that’s what I should have done, that’s how I should have stayed

That’s what I should have done, before the colors grayed

The heart speaks more than words, in the silence that we share

I was searching for the truth, but I found only despair

Just a hold was enough

That’s all it should have been

Just a hold
