Hold Me Like I’m Leaving Lyrics by Welles

Red Trees and White Trashes

2017

[Verse 1]
All my life I've been workin', slavin'
All my life I've tried
Just give me 'nough to keep me real and I'll be satisfied
All my life I've been slavin', haulin', pumpin', howlin' mad
Scrape the earth like a ten-ton war medal, rollin' up the slack
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't cut out for love
I ain't cut out for love
I ain't cut out for love
[Chorus]
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Dust me off like a jar of fire, declare me as your friend
It's been done before and we're doin it now
And I'm sure it's not the end
Come a day when the sky is fallin', mosey down to die
Some are born to love so sweetly, I don't have the time
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't cut out for love
Oh lord, I ain't cut out for love
I ain't cut out for love
I ain't cut out for love
[Chorus]
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't cut out for love, lord
I ain't cut out for love
I ain't cut out for love
I ain't cut out for love
[Chorus]
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Hold me like I'm leavin' 'cause I feel it come a creepin' again
Oh-oh, oh-oh
