You bolt your doors, you load your gun,
You build your wall, you aren't the only one.
You fear the night, shadows unknown,
Feel insecure, don't want to be alone.
But why, oh, why, tell me why
Do you know the reason for holding on?
Why, and you cry, don't wanna die,
Do you know the reason for holding on,
For holding on, for holding on?
You bolt your doors, you load your gun,
You build your wall, you aren't the only one.
Close to the edge, is there no hope,
Over the ledge, at the end of your rope.
You fear the fall, no landing zone,
Feel insecure, don't want to be alone.
But why, oh, why, tell me why
Do you know the reason for holding on?
Why, and you cry, don't wanna die,
Do you know the reason for holding on,
For holding on, for holding on?
