Verse

i got your letter

and the poetry you sent me

postmarked in december of last year

i really hope youre doing better

all your friends close by your side

one step closer to recovering.

Bridge

i wish there was something i could say

 to erase each and every page

 you've been through

 even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but cant accept

 this thank you note thats sealed with your last breath

 and i wont stand aside and listen to you give up

Chorus

if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what you have

if you'll just hold on. just hold on.

if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what you have

if you'll just hold on. just hold on.

Verse

these arms remain stretched out to you

maybe someday youll accept them

or maybe its too late to save

a young girls heart thats long stopped beating

wake up wake up you gotta believe

wake up wake up you cant give up

time keeps going on without us

long after we're dead and gone

Bridge

i wish there was something i could say

 to erase each and every page

 you've been through

 even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but cant accept

 this thank you note thats sealed with your last breath

 and i wont stand aside and listen to you give up

Chorus

if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what you have

if you'll just hold on. just hold on.

if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what you have

if you'll just hold on. just hold on.

you will wake up tomorrow

just hold on to what you have

just hold on to what you have

if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what you have

if you'll just hold on. just hold on.

End on D
