Holding On
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.
Once again I'm falling to my knees.
(I try to escape 'cause I just can't take it.)
Now this felling is spreading like a disease.
(I fake another day and the wheel keeps turning)
This place is so pathetic
Doesn't anybody get it.
Is there anybody home?
There's nothing left.
We're just a shadow of what we used to be.
In the night there's a fire in my eyes.
And this paradise has become a place we've come to cry.
When I open your letter, the words make it better.
It takes it all away.
Ohh it keeps me holding on. (2x)
Here we are, pretending we're ok.
(You can say what you want but you still can't fool me.)
The life we're living, it's all a masquerade.
(I try to smile but I can't remember how.)
So how did we get so jaded.
Is it so complicated
To not give up on me?
In the night there's a fire in my eyes.
And this paradise has become a place we've come to cry.
When I open your letter, the words make it better.
It takes it all away.
Ohh it keeps me holding on.
Whenever I need you
Wherever I run to.
I know where to find you.
It keeps me holding on.
Whenever I need you
Wherever I run to.
I know where to find you.
You keep me holding on. (2x)
In the night there's a fire in my eyes.
And this paradise has become a place we've come to cry.
When I open your letter, the words make it better.
It takes it all away.
Ohh it keeps me holding on
Whenever I need you
Wherever I run to.
I know where to find you.
It keeps me holding on. (2x)
