And I will run as fast as I can Just to see you safe, just to see you open your eyes And see how far you could go If you just hold on, hold on for me ♪ She said she wasn't willing to say she was a fan of your heart 'Cause every time it broke, it fell apart, it wasn't hers to begin with And I still, I still hope for a time, for the time I think it's time we wore down And I will run as fast as I can Just to keep you safe, just to make you open your eyes And see how far you could go If you just hold on, hold on for me Hold on, hold on for me Hold on, hold on for me ♪ Hold on for me
