Gonna Hold You Up, Not Hold You Up

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
