This is the first really intricate song I wrote. I was determined to get more experience with playing piano so I sat down and didn't leave until I had an idea of a song. I did it in one evening, but it then took my years to polish it and make it the way I wanted it. So, funnily enough, because it took so long, this song ended up being about 4 different guys. It's still one of my favorites that I've ever written.
lyrics
It's hard seeing you with her,
When I feel I should be in her place.
It ain't easy trying to make you see
These tears that are fallin' down my face.
There's nothin I can do,
that girl's all over you.
There's nothin to make you see me.
Well baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me X2
It's bad enough you don't notice me
when I'm giving you all I can.
You're wondering what you're looking for,
well baby here I am.
Here I am.
Now I know we'd make a perfect pair.
You and I go hand in hand.
Well they tell me that I should let you go,
But I just don't think that I can.
There's nothin I can do,
I can't get over you.
There's nothing I can do.
You're too good for me.
Well baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me X2
It's bad enough that you're over me
when I'm struggling to move on.
I'm doing my best to forget about you,
But baby I'm not that strong.
I'm not that strong.
At this point I don't really know what I'm trying for.
All I know is when I see you with her, I can't help but feel you deserve more.
Some day, I will show you that I can be something worth fighting for.
Well baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me X2
Baby hold on for me X2
Baby please wait for me.
Baby please notice me.
Baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me.
