 Hold on....
 Hold on....
 I'm trying  to transfer  affection,
Trying  to feel  factor four.
Trying  to change  my direction,
To  go where I once  was before.
 Don't try to tell me now that I'm  out here on my own;
 And there's no way to carry on.
 Don't try to tell me that there's nothing  left to hide;
Nothing  inside.
 I'm trying to break all connections,
 Burning a hole in my heart.
 Trying to transfer affection
 Is starting to tear me apart.
 I'm tired, but then on reflection,
 It's so hard to open my eyes;
 To try reaching out for affection,
 It's so hard to break the disguise.
 Close (same as intro):
 Hold  on....
 Hold on....
