My, my how things have changed
All of my friends family men
Pc and pta
And no one's coming out to play
They think I've got it made
And so I smile, and I pretend
Yeah I'm a lucky guy
But on the inside
I'm just hangin' on for dear life
Waiting for the wind to change
Running in circles
Trying to make a getaway
Hangin' on for dear life
Gettin' harder every day
Tryin' to get you off my mind
Ever since you went away
Maybe it's been too long
For me to say that I was wrong
But if it's not too late
I wanna set the record straight
Why try to hide the truth?
You know that I could never lie to you
You can see behind my smile
You can see inside
I'm just hangin' on baby
Waiting for the wind to change
Round and round
Got to make a getaway
Hangin' on
Gets harder every day
I can't get you off my mind
Ever since you went away
I got no one I can run to
No one to turn to I know
That's the price I gotta pay
Every minute every day
I got nothing to come home to
Living without you
I'm hangin' on for dear life
Hangin' on
You could always see behind my smile
You can see inside
