Every time I place my hand on her
I can feel him moving
I can hear his heart beating
All the color comes back to his face
Please keep breathing
Keep your heart beating

I keep on praying he's happy
And every day's the same
I keep praying he's happy

(Hold on tightly brother)
Hold on tightly brother
I'm doing everything, everything that I can do
To keep you here with me
To keep your heart beating
I'll keep your heart beating

Let this be the day
You finally realize you are all to blame
This is your fault
Let him live
Let him live

Ten years have past and there's nothing to show
I've done my best to respect you
Keep my head on the floor
She'll never love you the way she could
You'll never feel her warmth
You'll never have our trust
You'll never have it
Words can't change a thing
There's no denying it
We can't just pretend that nothing happened
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you expected?

Hold on tightly brother
I'm doing everything, everything that I can do
To keep you here with me
To keep your heart beating

Why can't I be dreaming?
I've got to be asleep
Just tell me that I'm sleeping
I pray I'm not awake

Why can't I be dreaming?
I've got to be asleep
Just tell me that I'm sleeping
I pray I'm not awake
Why can't I be dreaming?
I've got to be asleep
Just tell me that I'm sleeping
I pray I'm not awake
