Holding On To Nothin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
The years have shown no kindness for the hard times we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream and still go right on bluffin'
With really nothin' left to hold on to
Oh why do we keep holding on with nothin' left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to
[ piano ]
We were young and foolishly mistaken
The victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been faking
God only knows how hard how long we've tried
Why do we keep holding on...
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to
