He tried to say goodbye as he cleared his eyes then he said
Don't make me be here anymore
For this is the furthest I’ve been from your door
He's unstable on his own, body overthrown
By all the anxiousness he fears he'd never last a day out here
And she said it’s not always fair
But it'll have to do
Oh it'll have to do
But they never had enough to say
That it was a fault of theirs
To justify all the stares
Oh all the staring eyes

Holding out (yeah)
He made it through the day again
But it wasn't that easy
He's closer than he's ever been to losing
That little conflict in his mind
But for now he's holding out

Hiding all his flaws eyes kept to the floor as he said
Don't make me be here anymore
Oh I can’t fit in out here with all the vultures
Well it’s not always fair, but it'll have to do
Oh it’ll have to do
But they never had enough to say
That it was a fault of theirs
To justify all the stares
Oh all the staring eyes
Holding out (yeah)
He made it through the day again
But it wasn't that easy
He's closer than he's ever been to losing
That little conflict in his mind
But for now he’s holding out

Oh it's not always fair
But it'll have to do
