Hold onto Nothing

from Ship's Bell by LANAI

/

lyrics

I’ve been holding onto something
On my mind
And though it seems like nothing
It’s been holding me down

You never meant to hurt me
But I used your words to feel
And oh, how bad it hurts to try to love
After all these years

My mother, my father
My brother, my brother
We did the best we could
When troubles aligned

I grew up with a story
That I still like to tell
To make people feel they know me
Without spoiling the end

That my history is a minefield
And I’m scared to make the run
Yet here you stand with your handpicked dandelions
To see the last blinking sun

My mother, my father
My brother, my brother
We did the best we could
When troubles aligned

My mother, my father
My brother, my brother
It was hard enough
Then troubles aligned

My mother, my father
My brother, my brother
We did the best we could
When troubles aligned

My mother, my father
Remember that summer
We drove through the night
As one family…
