Hold On for Dear Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the ceiling
Watching the fans swirl around, around and 'round
'Cause I can't hear my breathing
The words we said are still so loud, loud, loud

[Pre-Chorus]
And we been drifting off so far
And I don't even know where we are
Before we jump, before we leap
And all is lost for you and me, yeah

[Chorus]
If we're not stupid, we'll both hold on for dear love
Find our way through this
It's not worth just giving up
'Cause I've got some fight left in me
And I don't see us ending this way
If we're not stupid, we'll both hold on for dear love, love

[Verse 2]
I've been weighed down by the silence
All these words that don't come out, out
Been tempted just to write it
And say I'm sorry without a sound, sound, sound
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we been drifting off so far
That I don't even know where we are
But we can try and we can speak
Before we're lost indefinitely

[Chorus]
If we're not stupid, we'll both hold on for dear love
Find our way through this
It's not worth just giving up
'Cause I've got some fight left in me
And I don't see us ending this way
If we're not stupid, we'll both hold on for dear love, love

[Bridge]
I been terribly human
Using you like a punching bag
And you've been terribly angry
Taking out all your worst words on me
And I see what we were
And I know that we've hurt
But I know that it's worth it to fight
For all our love tonight

[Chorus]
If we're not stupid, we'll both hold on for dear love
Find our way through this
It's not worth just giving up
'Cause I've got some fight left in me
And I don't see us ending this way
If we're not stupid, we'll both hold on for dear love, love
Love, love, love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
