"Hold On" lyrics

Beautiful faces
Just look around
Trying to fake it
But you're dragging me down
For such a long time (long time)
And I'm checking it out
Getting nowhere fast

You put me through paces
You tell me your lies
Not gonna take it
Just living to die
For such a long time (long time)
And I've been long enough
Hung out to dry

Now I'm showing my courage
I'm telling you why
Got my cards on the table
That look in my eye
Only regret is it's taken
So long to spit out

Hold on, love will come back
If you hold on
Give me some slack baby
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on
Hold on, baby get back
I said, hold on
Cut all the flack I said
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on
Hold on

Ain't no mistakin' I spent lots of bread
Setting you up in societies head
For such a long time (long time)
And bailing you out
Ain't where it's at
You think it's funny
I think it's sad
How could you think
All this ain't a drag
It's just the wrong time (wrong time)
To be shutting me out
What's this all about

So I'm showing my courage
I'm telling you why
Got my cards on the table
That look in my eye
Only regret that it's
Taken so long to spit out

Hold on, love will come back
If you hold on
Give me some slack baby
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on
Hold on, baby get back
I said hold on
Cut all the flack I said
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on
Hold on

Hold on, love will come back
If you hold on
Give me some slack baby
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on
Hold on, baby get back
I said hold on
Cut all the flack I said
Hold on, love will come
Back if we hold on
