As I saw you there,
Dancing with her,
I felt as if what was left of my heart
Was ripped out
And smashed into a thousand pieces.

Don't let them question you,
But always keep them wondering.

And it was then,
talking to you,
tears streaming down my face,
that I realized maybe I'm not completely
alone.

You are the Earth,
strong and beautiful,
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth
resilient and giving,
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth,
a little broken and scarred
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth
You are the thing that keeps me grounded
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth
always there and something magic
you are my world

I love you.

And so we hold on,
despite the heartache
we hold on.
Despite the pain
we hold on,
despite the scars
we hold on.
Despite the sadness, and loneliness and tears
we hold on.
Why do we hold on?

We hold on out of hope
that one day things will be okay
we hope.
For the person that we fell in love with to return
we hope
that the mask we fell in love with wasn't really a mask at all
we hope.
that maybe we didn't get ******* over
and that this will be the person who finally loves us for all that we are.

So we hold on to hope, despite it all
thinking maybe
this will be it.

This friendship is dead,
the only thing left to do,
is bury it.

Oh honey,
you're not strong enough
to handle me.
