Song lyrics
i got your letter and the poetry you sent me
Postmarked in december of last year
I really hope your doing better
All your friends close by your side
One step closer to recovery

I wish there was something i could say
To erase each and every page you've been through
even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but cant accept this thank you note
thats sealed with your last breath
and i won't stand aside and listen to you give up 

if you'll just hold on for one more second 
if you just hold on to what you have 
just hold on/ just hold on
You will wake up tomrrow

if you'll just hold on for one more second
just hold on to what you have
if you just hold on/ just hold on
You will wake up tomorrow

these arms remain stretched out to you
maybe someday you'll accept them
maybe its too late to save 
a young girls heart thats long stopped beating

wake up wake up you've gotta believe
wake up wake up you cant give up 
time keeps going on without us
long after we're dead and gone

i wish there was something i could say
to erase each and every page you've been through
even though its not my place to save you

i appreciate but cant accept this thank you note
thats sealed with your last breath
and i won't stand aside and listen to you give up

if you'll just hold on for one more second
just hold on to what you have
if you just hold on/ just hold on
if you'll just hold on for one more second
just hold on to what you have
if you just hold on/ just hold on

yer wot i herd. a chick ova in australia was going through some hard times and she wrote them a letter saying how they helped her get through those times and she was dying soon. they liked the idea of helping her getting through it but not the fact that she was dying. so they wrote her a song

this is such a beautiful song. It's so sad!! I love the part where he says "these arms remain stretched out to you, maybe someday you'll accept them. Or maybe it's too late to save a young girl's heart that's long stopped beating."

This is SUCH a good song!!!!

this song was actually written in response not so much to a girl who was dying, but who had been through a lot and was contemplating suicide .. can you imagine that .. a song written for you, from kris roe. he saved someones life. this song is so beautiful.

u are right in a way, the girl isnt suicidal, shes bulimic. She was anorexic and the ataris were her fav band some one wrote in to tell them she was ill and they replied, she wrote to say thanks and she was out of hospital but she now was bulimic and new one day it could kill her. If you read the letter in the insert it says. The ataris rule and Kris is hot

I personally think the whole 'writing it to a girl cos she was dying' was a publicity stunt. half his shows kris says its for a girl who was fighting bulimia and shes still alive, other half he says it was a girl from sydney, who wrote him a letter and he wrote the song in reply cos he sucks at letters and it was a song to be played at the funeral she then died. so personally i think the whole 'iwrte to a girl who was dying' was a lie, so ppl would be all 'omg hes so sweet' then the ataris gets big. but its a nice ice and it was sweet if it was true.. which ever story hes gonna go with
