I know you're mad when you can't even look at me in my eyes
And when you say, "you're said, I need you better," make it worse when I try
But when you say nothing, it's like you stuck a knife in my side
I know the feeling, it's not easy being stuck with me tonight
To make things right, these things take time
So hold me, hold me 'til the river runs dry
I'm holding, holding onto you for dear life
'Cause I never know the words to say, but you forgive me anyway
Even though we both know I'm the reason you cry
Do you need a break, need some space, need to change your mind ways?
Should I get away, get a place for a couple of days?
I'm afraid if I change, you won't look at me the same
I wanna be your only shoulder when you have a bad day
So hold me, hold me 'til the river runs dry
I'm holding, holding onto you for dear life
I never know the words to say, but you forgive me anyway
Even though we both know I'm the reason—
We've been arguing more than we usually do
I know I deserve what you're putting me through
If you mean what you say and you want me to go
If that's what you want, then I want you to know
I'll stay the night if that's alright
To make things right, these things take time
So hold me, hold me 'til the river runs dry
I'm holding, holding onto you for dear life
Because I never know the words to say, but you forgive me anyway
So hold me and hold me 'til the day that I die
