Nothing Here To Hold You - Magne Furuholmen

Learning to breathe

As walls close in around you

Learning to see

The things that surround you

Once you believed

In every word he sold you

There’s nothing here to hold you

Learning to fly

While things fall down around you

You’re wasting your time

With the people that surround you

Don’t ask me why,

But once you’re on your own

You will soon realize —

It’s true what I told you

Real love is all

It takes to walk away from comfort

Real pain to know;

Nothing scares you now

Real life will show the naked truth

In what I told you:

There’s nothing here to hold you

Learning to hide

From memories you’ve built a life on

They’ll wonder why

The sudden change of mind?

But just passing time

No longer is an option

you must re-organize,

and feed the fire in your belly

Real love is all

It took to bring you back from sleep

Real pain to know

You are still alive

Real life has shown

The truth in everything I told you

There’s nothing here to hold you

You have come to despite

Everyone who adores you

So you wave your goodbyes

To everything that bores you

There’s a whole world outside

And you know you shouldn’t buy it

But you just have to try it

Cuz there’s nothing here to hold you

Real love was all

It took to raise you from the dead

Real pain to know

You’re still inside your head

Real life is all

To see the truth in what I told you

There’s nothing here to hold you

Learning to fly

A pair of broken wings

But still you’re willing to try

Cuz there’s nothing here to hold you
