We wait until the best things are gone
To realize they were the best things
We wait for the moon to replace the sun
To think about what weighs us down
Make me realize just what I have
I won't leave this earth
With an uneasy mind

Hold on, hold on
A future is what I fear
A future I did not envision
Hold on, hold on
A future is what I fear
A future I did not envision
You've made me, shaped me into

Exactly who I need to be
I just want to be there for the end
I don't want to lose you, but I know I have to
Left here is the mold of a man
That you guided, that you guided
A part of me, is you, and we will live on

I won't let this slow me down
I won't let this carry on
If a future is what I fear
Then I will create my own
Onward
Onward to the future I fear so much
We wait until the best things are gone
To realize they were the best things

We wait for the moon to replace the sun
To think about what weighs us down
Hold on, hold on
A future is what I fear
A future I did not envision
Onward, to the future I fear so much
Onward, to the future I fear so much
Onward
Onward
I will face it with my worn down soul
