[Verse 1]
I walked into the room
I saw things I'd never seen
The world was different then
We were so young
But oh, how we change our lives
They can sometimes seem so strange
How could you do this?
You were so young

[Chorus]
Hold on
I wish that you had held on
I wish that I had been the one
To help you hold on

[Verse 2]
Asleep in the bath
You watched the New Year passing by
The fireworks in your hands
You never questioned why
But oh, tired, weary
This life can sometimes seem
How could you do this?
You were so young
[Chorus]
Hold on
I wish that you had held on

[Bridge]
(vocalizations)

[Chorus]
Hold on
I wish that you had held on
I wish that I had been the one
To help you hold on

[Outro]
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on, and on, and on, and on, and
(Hold on, hold on, hold on)
(Hold on, hold on, hold on)
Hold on
Wish that you had held on, and on, and on, and on, and
(Hold on, hold on, hold on)
Hold on
