Allie Jones Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You held the world like a photograph
Hung up and curled, now it's torn in half

Too old, too fast, too much for you
Now what the fuck am I supposed to do

Will I get that call tomorrow
Will you throw it all away

[Chorus]
Allie Jones
You could have had it all
Allie Jones
Your back's against the wall
Allie Jones
Your folks don't even know
Allie Jones
Don't let, don't let go
Don't let go

[Verse 2]
Can't run away, gotta play your hand
Get through the day any way you can
The hope, the pain in your daughter's eyes
I'm the only thing keeping you alive
Will I'll read it in the paper
Will you leave it all behind?

[Chorus]
Allie Jones
You could have had it all
Allie Jones
Your back's against the wall
Allie Jones
Your folks don't even know
Allie Jones
Don't let, don't let go
Don't let go

[Outro]
Allie (Hold on)
Allie (Hold on)
Allie (Hold on)
Allie (Hold on)
But you don't let
But you don't let
But you don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
