[Verse 1]
I was mean to the nurses
Mean to the ones I loved
I rolled my eyes at the room light
Like I was above
I dropped the cup in my lap
Watched it spread on the floor
You still came back with a towel
Like you had done this before
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I count every step
Like it might disappear
Now I need both your hands
Just to keep me here
[Chorus]
I was hard to hold
Now I know it
I was hard to hold
Please don't leave me alone
White lesions being found on my brain
(white lesions)
Pain
Pain
[Verse 2]
The days got thin at the edges
The mirror looked strange
My mouth went dry with apologies
Too late to change
You learned my meds by the clock face
My fear by the sound
You tied up my shoes in the hallway
When I could not bend down
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I count every step
Like it might disappear
Now I need both your hands
Just to keep me here
[Chorus]
I was hard to hold
Now I know it
I was hard to hold
Please don't leave me alone
White lesions being found on my brain
(white lesions)
Pain
Pain
[Bridge]
If I was cruel, I was scared
If I bit, I was hurt
I was a storm in a small house
Breaking all I touched first
So stay by the bedlight
Stay when I shake
If I can't say thank you
Let my body say
[Final Chorus]
I was hard to hold
Now I know it
I was hard to hold
Please don't leave me alone
White lesions being found on my brain
(white lesions)
Pain
Pain
I was hard to hold
Now I know it
I was hard to hold
But you held me anyway
Pain
Pain
