[Verse 1]
I know you're mad when you can't even look at me in my eyes
And when you say, "you're sad, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
To make things right, these things take time

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Do you need a break, need some space, need a change in my 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

[Chorus]
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—
[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll stay the night if that's alright
To make things right, these things take time

[Outro]
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
