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.
They say patience is a virtue
But I've been waiting too long
I believed in your promises
And it hurts to see I was wrong
The one more tries, the sleepless nights
The countless tears that I've cried
Why should I
I keep holding on
(Why I keep holding on?)
When I knew someone new is holding you
Why should I keep holding on
(Why I keep holding on?)
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone
Stairways leading down to nowhere
Roads that never end
Why keep on going 'round in circles
To break my heart again
Caressed my hair, then left me there
Alone, but you don't care
Why should I keep holding on
(Why I keep holding on?)
When I knew someone new is holding you
Why should I keep holding on
(Why I keep holding on?)
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone
I used to think that I should blame myself
But it wasn't me who was seeing someone else
Now here's a me, you've never seen before
As you're watching me walk right out the door
Keep holding on
(Why do I?)
When I knew someone new is holding you
Why should I
(Keep holding on)
Why should I keep holding on
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone
Tell me why do I
Keep holding on, holding on, when love is gone
When I knew someone new is holding you
Why should I
Keep holding on, holding on
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone
(Why do I?)
Keep holding on, holding on, when love is gone
When I knew someone new is holding you
(When I knew someone new)
Keep holdin on
(Why I keep holding on?)
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone
