Hold Me Together -Rachel Wenneman

Hold me together with little things,
tape the cracks and tie the string.
Take my brain and seal my thoughts
it's okay, it only hurts a lot.
Sew my lips and paint me a smile,
I'll only feel it for a little while.
Pierce my ears and put in jewels,
if I'm pretty they're easy to fool.
Shine my eyes and make them bright,
so that they sparkle even at night.
Put me in a brand new dress,
I'll stand proud; like all the rest.

Hold it together with little things,
tape the cracks and tie the string.
Fix myself and stand up tall,
wait by the phone until you call.
Cannot let you see my pain
I'll let it out in the pouring rain.
Silent tears night after night,
I'm losing this internal fight.
Don't know how to say I feel,
Cannot believe that this is real.
No need to say that I am broken.
There's no words left that can be spoken.

Hold us together with little things,
tape the cracks and tie the string.
Wish you were always here to hold,
through days that are warm and nights that are cold.
We'll never be too far apart
if you keep me close at heart.
Hands don't want to let you go,
'cause when you're gone, time moves too slow.
I know that you'll be back some day
but write to me while you're away.
And if it's the last thing that you do
just please remember that I love you.
