hold on
hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell 

hold on
hold on to yourself 
you know that only time can tell

what is it in me that refuses to believe
this isn't easier than the real thing 

my love
you know that you're my best friend 
you know that i'd do anything for you
and my love
let nothing come between us
my love for you is strong and true 

am i in heaven here or
am i 
at the crossroads i am standing 

so now you're sleeping peaceful
i lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow
and will see another day
and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face 

oh god
if you're out there won't you hear me 
i know we're never talked before

and oh god
the man i love is leaving
won't you take him when he comes to your door 

am i in heaven here or
am i in hell
at the crossroads i am standing 

so now you're sleeping peaceful
i lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow
and we will see another day
and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face

hold on
hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
