I hold you
I hold you in contempt
But I hold you.
I may hold you at arms length
But I’ll never let go.
I hold you just out of reach
And sometimes I do worry.
I hold you this way
because I know no other.
I hold you in the only way I can at a distance from both of us.
But by God, I hold you.
Scorn me, but never doubt
my unfelt embrace.
Hold me any way you can
But hold me.

I hold you
I hold you in contempt
But I hold you.
I may hold you at arms length
But I’ll never let go.
I hold you just out of reach
And sometimes I do worry.
I hold you this way
because I know no other.
I hold you in the only way I can at a distance from both of us.
But by God, I hold you.
Scorn me, but never doubt
my unfelt embrace.
Hold me any way you can
But hold me.
