Hold Me

Matt Nathanson

Hold me

And save me from myself

I claim to be so righteous

But I'm just like everyone else

I was judging you when I realized

Just how big a lie I lead

Hold me



I truly wish you could follow me

In my walk through brilliance

But I've grown so much hollower

And the paths have all grown dense



With vines of green, the color of envy

With vines of green, the color of jealousy



And it's funny but I hate it

When you steal the spotlight from me

Hold me



I've no patience for hypocrites

I have no patience for fakes

I've no patience for those

Who make my same mistakes

So hold me



I truly wish you could follow me

In my walk through brilliance

But I've grown so much hollower

And the paths have all grown dense



With vines of green, the color of jealousy

With vines of green and all my insecurities

And it's funny, but I hate it

When you steal the spotlight from me

Hold me
