Hold Me
By Michael James Mead
I feel like I could die
and this hope
barely keeps me alive

love, more than I can take
so far
without you I wait

I can't last forever
wishing we could be together
I don't know how long I can hold on to a life this empty when I'm so lonely

take me before I'm gone
I can't stand to be alone
hold me before I'm cold
in the ground I'll call my home

and if I die I hope you don't cry
for I will still love you
and if I bleed my body dry
know I always loved you
