I always knew you were good

I tried and I tried to hold on
Till my fingers bled
And my soul all but drowned
I thought I would fall
I thought I would lose you
But something held me there
Something made me stick
There was a piece of thread that was stronger
Than the rest of the rope that had been ripped to shreds
It was you
You held on because I asked you to
Even when I was pissed at you and yelled at you
And pushed you to the edges of my mind
You held on because I asked you to
Even when I thought you didn’t love me and I
Forgot the ways you’ve shown me how well you know me
You held on because I asked you to
You’ve always had the strength that I lack
You’ve always had the patience I couldn’t wait for
You’ve always seen what I pretended to be blind to
I almost let the world convince me that you’re not good
But I could never fully believe them like I do you
I just needed someone to speak my language
To help me understand
To prove what I always knew in the depths of
My heart, mind and soul
Thank you for holding on

I always knew you were good
