Gonna Hold You Up, Not Hold You Up
7.29.2021
Don’t want to hold you down
Like the laces of an umbrella
Meant to tie it when it’s down
Tie it up to hold it down
Gonna hold you up, not hold you up
Just want to hold you up
Let your wings open wide
Meant to fly
Not tied down
Fly high in the sky
Not tied
Completely unbound
To let you fly
I only want to let you fly
I only want to hold you up, to let you fly
Don’t want to bind you to the ground
Like the stakes of a tent
Meant to tie it to the ground
Tie it up to keep it down
Gonna hold you up, not hold you up
I just want to let you fly
Spread your wings
You’ll soar
You’ll soar to kiss the sky
I know it’s in you
You’ll reach incredibly high
And I don’t want to be the reason why
You don’t
No I don’t want to be the reason why
You don’t reach the stars you should
Because I know, without me
You totally would
But you’ve made a sacrifice
Every day I see it in your eyes
You’ll look at me
But your eyes drift up to the skies
Up to the stars
The stars that you’d be reaching otherwise
If I truly love you I know
The thing I need to do
Is let you go
Then you might come back
And if you did come back to me
It’d be with a happiness
Only you could achieve
So I’m gonna hold you up, not hold you up
