    Uncertainty

    by: The Fray

    Uncertainty is killing me
    And I'm certainly not asleep
    Maybe I've gone far to deep
    Maybe I'm just far to weak
    Ands that's the last place
    I want to be the last place
    And there is so much we don't know
    So we love and we hope that it holds
    Thousands were lost maybe more
    The question remains, what is this for?
    Maybe it came unexpected
    Maybe I'm left unprotected
    And that's the last place
    I want to be the last place
    And there is so much we don't know
    So we love and we hope that it holds
    And either we say or we show
    So I'm going to fight for my own
    I'm holding on until the last
    I'm holding on until there's nothing left
    I'm holding on until the last
    I'm holding on until there's nothing left
