Hard to Hold

Soft like soda, burns in your mouth
To put your trust in someone like the rest of us
You'll do it on your own, you'll die before you know
And what you really crave is something that you can't make
Out of everybody, you were so hard to hold
Back a little older, but that same chip is on your shoulder
Pacing around the bedroom looking for a fight to win
I'm gonna kick you out if you can't settle down
Thank you for your service, but you're not listening
And out of everybody, you were so hard to hold
And out of everybody, you were so hard to hold
I'd love to take you somewhere, somewhere we've never been
But you don't believe in second chances, you've never had to beg for one
You're higher than other people, looking down on me
You don't believe in consequences, you've never had to pay for one
You've never had to beg for one
This is letting you know
I know it's not easy
I'm not letting you go
But you gotta work with me
You're so hard to hold
I know it's not easy
I'm not letting you go
But you gotta work with me
This is letting you know
I'm not letting you go
You're so hard to hold
I'm not letting you go
Soft like soda, burns in your mouth
But you gotta work with me
