Hate (To Hold Onto)

from Tempus Deserta by Arkangela

/

lyrics

Hate to hold onto
(Waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh)
Hate to hold onto
(Waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh)

They say that living in the past
Will ruin each new day
But I'm afraid if I let it go
I'll have nothing to sing
I remember all the suffering
But still, I wouldn't change a thing
The boy you laughed at grew up
Into a man that defies you

I tried to forgive all the ones
Who have done me wrong
But the only thing that happened
Is the helped me write this song
Will it be their relevance
That determines my significance?
If so, then I'll need you for
Hate to hold onto

(Waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh)

To help you understand
We must rewind
I spent my teenage years
Depressed and angry all the time
But when I lost faith in everything
I heard the music say to me
"Give your soul to me
It will pay off in due time"

I tried to forgive all the ones
Who have done me wrong
But the only thing that happened
Is the helped me write this song
Will it be their relevance
That determines my significance?
If so, then I'll need you for
Hate to hold onto

I spent so many nights alone
Just wrestling with my demons
Holding on for better times
Without these bitter feelings
You kicked us into the dirt
And didn't have a reason
But doing so only helped grow
This fucking band you're hearing

I tried to forgive all the ones
Who have done me wrong
But the only thing that happened
Is the helped me write this song
Will it be their relevance
That determines my significance?
Did you expect the result
From all your negativity
Be possibly the greatest thing
That every happened to me?
Every night that I hit the stage
You're the reason they'll remember me
I won't forgive but must thank you for
Hate to hold onto

(Waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh)
Hate to hold onto
(Waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh, waoh)
