Hold My Hand Lyrics

I found a picture in my basement
My face a hundred years ago
But I don't want to do like he did
So full of pride and all alone

Escape is in my blood
Fear is in my bones
But I don't want to walk that road
Please help me

Hold my hand
I can hear the ghosts calling
Help me stand
Even if the sky is falling
And I want you to know
I can't do it alone
Hold my hand

This is the burden that I carry
And it goes back a hundred years
But all the shit I did
I am done with it
You've got every right to leave
But stay with me

Hold my hand
I can hear the ghosts calling
Help me stand
Even if the sky is falling
And I want you to know
I can't do it alone
Hold my hand

You're the reason why
We can write a different story
Lift me up
I'm falling on my knees again

Hold my hand
I feel the ghost coming
Help me stand
I can see the sky falling

Hold my hand
I can hear the ghosts calling
Help me stand
I can see the sky falling
And I need you to know
I can't do this alone
Hold my hand

I need you now
I can hear the ghosts calling
Hold my hand

I found a picture in my basement
My face a hundred years ago
But I don't want to do like he did
So full of pride and all alone

Escape is in my blood
Fear is in my bones
But I don't want to walk that road
Please help me

Hold my hand
I can hear the ghosts calling
Help me stand 
Even if the sky is falling
And I want you to know
I can't do it alone
Hold my hand

This is the burden that I carry
And it goes back a hundred years
But all the shit I did
I am done with it
You've got every right to leave
But stay with me

Hold my hand
I can hear the ghosts calling
Help me stand 
Even if the sky is falling
And I want you to know
I can't do it alone
Hold my hand

You're the reason why
We can write a different story
Lift me up
I'm falling on my knees again

Hold my hand
I feel the ghost coming
Help me stand 
I can see the sky falling

Hold my hand
I can hear the ghosts calling
Help me stand 
I can see the sky falling
And I need you to know
I can't do this alone
Hold my hand

I need you now
I can hear the ghosts calling
Hold my hand

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
