you hold me together lyrics

By now I should've been broken on the rocks of rising life's ocean
Just another ship lost at sea
By now I should've been scattered in the wind of my lonesome travels
Like a thousand dandelion seeds

And I should've come unraveled at the seams like a well worn sweater
But you hold me together

My hope should've been shattered like a bottle out behind some tavern
From a fight that you had no chance to win
My dreams should've been ashes
Gone up in smoke like a book of matches
Tossed away and never gonna burn again

And I should've worn right through like an old cowboy's boot leather
But you hold me together

I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
'Cause you hold me together, together

I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
No, there won't ever be a storm that I can't weather

I should've been long forgotten just a footnote down at the bottom
Of a page in the book of what could've been's
My heart should lie in pieces on the ground like a goodbye letter

But you hold me together, you hold me together
You hold me together, together
You hold me, you hold me together
