I don't really need you, and I won't care when we're through If I say this enough times love I'll believe that it's true And when the clouds break down the water will fall And wash away my doubt, wash away my resolve If there's shame in shelter I don't mind Despair brings compassion in our kind We're not the first to learn that we're killing time And I know we all hope for what we can't have Hold to your hope now Hold to your hope now Don't go - Don't let - Don't go Hold to your hope now Hope is all we have Take it on faith now Charity breaks down Love fails - Don't let - Don't go Hold to your hope now for hope is all we have The fainter your breathing, the louder your heart Should we trust only change, love, when all things come apart And when the bough breaks down the cradle will fall And you ask was it worth it? Yes it was worth it all Just like the summers that fill your head Just bloom for a moment but you're glad they did Can't hold onto air love, but oh if we could And I'd say, How would we know if we're still living? Hold to your hope now Hold to your hope now Don't go - Don't let - Don't go Hold to your hope now Hope is all we have Take it on faith now Charity breaks down Love fails - Don't let - Don't go Hold to your hope now for hope is all we have If there's shame in shelter I don't mind Despair brings compassion in our kind Nothing is fixed here so we change our minds We make up our own circumstances Hold to your hope now Hold to your hope now Don't go - Don't let - Don't go Hold to your hope now Hope is all we have Take it on faith now Charity breaks down Love fails - Don't let - Don't go Hold to your hope now for hope is all we have
