Lyrics
Hold Me Now © Dave Morris 2009
She bundled up the baby in the car seat
Then drove into the night
Checked her black eye in the mirror
Whispered , Everything is gonna be alright
I could take it if it was just me
But I see where it's going
Little boy doesn't need this stuff
When another one is inside me growing
She landed on my doorstep
Like a stray dog that's lost it's way
She said don't stop me from crying
I got a lot things I've gotta say
I admit it you were right
You've been right all along
I didn't really need this stuff
And staying there would have been wrong
- Chorus -
Why didn't I take it
Why didn't I stay with you
Why couldn't I see you're the only one
That could hold me
Could you hold me now
Would you still take me broken
A shell of myself as I am now
With miles of bumpy road behind
Could you find the way to love me somehow
Once you held me together
And shouldered me I always knew
One misstep by him
I'd be running back to you
- Chorus-
- Bridge -
Love me, you said you would
Said that we'd be good
Ain't no two like us when we're together
But that was two years ago
And now I know
What you asked for was forever
I let you go ... I let you go
So what's your answer boy
It hurts my cheek to smile at you
Could you find that place in your heart again
Are you thinking it through
If you turn back and you say no
I guess I'll understand
Probably ain't the way you want me
Ain't exactly what you'd planned
-Chorus-
Hold me
Could you hold me now
Hold me
Could you hold me now
