lyrics

I CANT HOLD ON
Lyrics & Music - Jaimi Faulkner

Like a dark night deep in winter
Like a cold hard driving rain
Like the weight that’s lifted in ya
When the good Lord calls your name

Like the deep and muddy water
On the Mississippi plain
Like the tree that's torn right from it’s roots
In cat. 5 hurricane

When you think you found the answers
And your stars seems to align
But buried beneath your wisdom
Is just your foolish pride

I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know
I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know

Now you you’ve got a problem
That pumps right through your veins
You made the choice to disconnect
From all that is humane
Like the man who gives whole hearted
Should never stand to gain
So why does it feel like we’re draggin’ at the chain

When your scraping at the bottom
Feel the need to pawn yourself
But you can’t seem to find a value
You can’t justify your wealth

I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know
I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know


Like a winner you’re a natural
Yet you never really tried
You told me once, you told me twice
You’re just in it for the ride
Who am I to cast aspersions
on all you’ve said and done
Yet you protect your second
with your smoking gun

When you base all your existence
And to everything else your blind
On some abstract saint who roams the earth
gives all meaning to your life

I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know
I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know

When you think you found the answers
And your stars seems to align
But buried beneath your wisdom
Is just your foolish pride

I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know
I can’t hold on
Holding on to the trust that I once know
