Hold Me Close

hold me close and don't let go
i'm so scared to be alone
i've been by myself for so long
and always had to be strong
now i only want to rest
and lay my head on your chest
hold me close and don't let go
these demons i fight, no one knows
now whisper how you love me
say it tender and softly
i am wary and soon will sleep
but with you no longer will i weep
so hold me close and don't let go
for i never want to be alone
