You Hold Me Together

You Hold Me Together
By now I should a been broken
On the rocks of rising life's ocean
Just another ship lost at sea
By now I should a been scattered
In the wind of my lonesome travels
Like a thousand dandelion seeds
And I should a come unraveled
At the seams like a well worn sweater
But you hold me together
My hope should a been shattered
Like a bottle out behind some tavern
From a fight that you had no chance to win
My dreams should a been ashes
Gone up in smoke like a book of matches
Tossed away and never gonna burn again
And I should a worn right through
Like an old cowboy's boot leather
But you hold me together

I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
Cause you hold me together
I should a been long forgotten
Just a footnote down at the bottom
Of a page in the book of what could a been's
My heart should lie in pieces
On the ground like a goodbye letter
You hold me together
