Lyrics[Verse 1]
I was drawn
Riding atop a black horse
Whatever prize there was
I could only observe
Where the trouble starts
Where does it end
How can I be cured
How, before it ends

[Chorus 1]
I know life would be different if I held on (held on)
I know I could be something if I held on
[Verse 2]
Gave her life away
Put it in my pocket when it should've been framed
Oh, lost its shine
Gotta get this outta my head
Out of my bed
How could it end, end like this
How could it end

[Chorus 2]
I know life would be different had I held on (held on)
I know I could be something had I held on (held on)
I know I could be something if I held on (held on)
I know life would be different if I held on, held on (held on)

[Outro]
Held on, held on
If I held on, held on
If I held on, held on
If I held on, held onYou might also like
