Hold On

It seems all my bridges are up in flames
And I cannot find a way to cross this river of memories
Wasting time just standing here
We had a fire that could set ablaze
Burning up all the doubt and the shame
But those clouds moved in when the cold winds came

We fell victim but when I close my eyes all I see
Are the memories like some distant dream
Take the loss with a grain of salt but I'm not fooling
Anybody am I this time
We ruled that summer like kings and queens
Times that I hold close to me reckless and fallen
For a dream, heads held high till the morning
We had a vision a place to breathe, swore
We'd never break the chains
But this life has never been a game

We fell victim but when I close my eyes
All I see are the memories like some distant dream
Take the loss with a grain of salt, but we're
Not fooling anybody are we this time
Hold on to who we were, nothing can hold a candle
I'll take away from what we've learned, keep the dreams closer

And now we go our separate lives and
Breaking the ice is getting harder
But there's no need to waste our words
On what's gone and over
Were changing with the seasons
Always changing so how in the world did
We think that wed stay the same

Were changing and though we've grown
So far nothing can take away what we've
Seen and what we've learned
Were changing and that's ok
We had our time and now we can hold on to who we were
Nothing can hold me under
I'll take away from what we've learned, keep the dreams closer
And now we go our separate lives and breaking the ice is getting harder
But there's no need to waste our words on what's gone and over
