Well I'll tell you the truth As I only do my friend I'll be living my youth As I live till my end my friend I've been battered and bruised But it's only a few that have stayed or left And that's nothing a hammer A nail or my mind couldn't cure But I've left people hang On a stick or a word If their grip grew tight All the bottles the battles The beds that I've shared they're all mine But the more you hold on to me The less you can have of me The more you hold on to me The less I am yours to keep Well I'll tell you the truth If that's what you want my friend Sometimes being a friend Is not saying a word my friend I've been shattered and shoved And I shattered and shoved But my mind is clear And I've chosen my women, my men And I've chosen my fears But I've loved you with the marrow That fills up my bones and I always will If you are with me or not All depends if you hold me too near But the more you hold on to me The less you can have of me The more you hold on to me The less I am yours to keep The more you hold on to me The less I am yours to keep The more you hold on to me The less I am yours or me There are devils inside That I am not afraid to meet There are devils outside But I am not ashamed to be But the more you hold on to me Yeah the more you hold on to me I will try not to leave
