picture-perfect parties, so many bosses sailing in, with their eyes that look right through you, talk and patience wearing thin, you’re beloved in this family, just until the bids stop coming in

give me back the part of me that’s gone, just sing me something full of grace right now, please hold me ‘cause i can’t keep holding on, holding on, holding on
