Hold It For Her

My future self, she reaches back
And hands me her grief
I take it well but it hurts like hell
Some days it must get too much to bear
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her

I keep wasting time
Grieving something that hasn't yet come to end
And I stay up at night
Crying over a parent that isn't dead
She comes by a lot
She misses my dog
So I hold him for her

So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her

Her face is mine, with deeper lines
She's better, stronger than I am
So it must be a lot to come back so often
Some days it must get too much to bear
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her

I keep wasting time
Grieving something that hasn't yet come to end
And I stay up at night crying over a parent that isn't dead
She comes by a lot
She misses my dog
So I hold him for her
I keep wasting time
Grieving something that hasn't yet come to end
And I stay up at night crying over a parent that isn't dead
She comes by a lot
She misses my dog
So I hold him for her

So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her

It makes it easy on me to feel it
Now it's only a little grief that I hold
Scared so I only hold in experimental doses
One day I might put it down

I keep wasting time
Grieving something that hasn't yet come to end
And I stay up at night crying over a parent that isn't dead
She comes by a lot
She misses my dog
So I hold him for her
I keep wasting time
Grieving something that hasn't yet come to end
And I stay up at night crying over a parent that isn't dead
She comes by a lot
She misses my dog
So I hold him for her

So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
So I hold it for her
