[Verse 1] Is life worth living When the room feels too empty And my heart runs away. I count the hours Like one counts cracks Silence takes over And speaks to me too loudly I’m face to face With a morning devoid of scenery [Pre-Chorus] But I open the door a little I ask who’s there And all I hear is the echo of my voice Where has my family gone? Where are my children? Who’s keeping my grandchildren away? Where are my friends? What do I have left? Is life worth living? [Chorus] Hold my hand, stay here When everything inside me is falling apart Hold my hand, stay here I want to see the light of day again Hold my hand, stay here [Verse 2] I left on the table Words I never said Wounds all too visible Beneath the skin of my nights And yet in your voice There’s something like a morning A lamp in the cold A path in my hand [Pre-Chorus] So I open the door a little I ask who’s there I hear only the echo of my voice Where has my family gone? Where are my children? Who’s holding my grandchildren back? Where are my friends? What do I have left? Is life worth living? [Chorus] Hold my hand, stay here When everything inside me is falling apart Hold my hand, stay here I want to see the light of day again Hold my hand, stay here [Bridge] If I fall, pick me up One step, then another step I haven’t given up hope yet Even on the brink of terror Just tell me “one more time” Just tell me “not alone” And I’ll hold on tighter To the edge of this threshold [Chorus] Hold my hand, stay here When everything inside me crumbles Hold my hand, stay here I want to see the light of day again Hold my hand, stay here When I wonder if life is worth living if I have to end it alone
