Holding on
How'd I let it get this far
What was going through my mind
Why'd you seem to have it all
Yet you're not mine
Started off as just good friends
Still we always step the line
Coz falling for you was so easy
Ohh..
You're everything I want
You're everything I need
You're everything I want my girl to be
And even though I know
You're in someone else's heart
I can't bare to be apart
See I've fallen for you
And I've gotta let you go
And I know that I have got to
Find a way to get on with my life
I don't wanna let you go (let you go)
But it's killing me inside (inside)
How can I just carry on
I need some piece of mind (need some piece of mind)
How do I just move along (along)
And ignore the love so strong (so strong)
So until I see this through
I'll be holding on to you
To you... baby...
Throughout the years with her I've tried
To find the joy beyond the pain
But when the words and tears subside
Girl it's still the same
And I can't look into her eyes
Without thinking about you
See I've tried but these feelings won't leave me
No....
You're everything I want
You're everything I dream
You're everything I want my girl to be
And even though I know
You're in someone else's arms
I can't bare to be apart
See girl I fell for you
And I don't wanna say goodbye
And I know that I have got to
Find a way to get on with my life
I don't wanna let you go
But it's killing me inside
How can I just carry on (how can I)
I need some piece of mind (piece of mind)
How do I just move along
And ignore the love so strong (so strong)
So until I see this through
I'll be holding on to you
I look away when he holds you
For I'm afraid that I might find
The look in your eyes
That I see when you were mine
So tell me why I've got to be
The one to walk away
And leave you there in someone else's arms
(Won't let you go away
I don't wanna let you go
But it's killing me inside (killing me inside)
How can I just carry on (how can I)
I need some piece of mind
How do I just move along
And ignore the love so strong
So until I see this through (till I...till I)
I'll be holding on to you
