Burn, Blisters, and Scars


Hold on, keep it tight;

Who cares if holding on keeps you hurting.

Hold on, keep it tight;

Who cares of your grip keeps you burning.

Hold on, don’t let go,

Releasing makes you weak, 

Because letting go is not the answer

People believe you should seek.

Who cares if your hands are bleeding,

From holding on too tight. 

But the real answer to healing,

Is remembering letting go is alright.
