Let Go (Hold On) Lyrics by Emily Ayden

Progress

2016

You told me how you put the needle
Between your ring and pinky toe
Because that was the only place
Left that wouldn't show
Every time you came home looking thinner
God damn it, we're gonna sit down and eat dinner
As a family for once
Pulling teeth out at the table
I remember thinking that was normal
When you got out of rehab
You said you'd been born again
You told me that Jesus had
Forgiven all your sins
And I said I forgave you too
But I think that I spoke too soon
I think I spoke too soon
I wanted it to be true
I wanted to be unburdened too
You have to let go
You have to let go (hold on)
When they put the needle
Down into my spine
When we got home I acted like
Everything was fine
But inside I was begging to die
I was begging to die, I was begging to die
I was begging please, God, help me
But God did not answer
And somewhere some little kid is dying of cancer
You have to hold on
You have to hold on (let go)
