Tell me I’m forgiven I’m holding up a light For what’s been missing right here At first hallucination I wanna fall wide awake now You tell me it’s alright But nobody can save me now Chasing up the darkness inside

All the crying is true Oh, I will hold you and love you again But until then, we'll just pretend Just pretend, I'm holding you And whispering things soft and low And think of me, how it's gonna be Just pretend I didn't go When I walked away, I heard you

And it's holding strong It keeps holding on But it's holding on Even though I tried to make it Played the part, but I can't fake it Even though I tried to break it Heaven knows that I can't shake it Though my past has left me bruised

I know it's a shame Tell me it's okay Lately I've been thinking about the past How there is no holding back No point in wasting sorrow On things that won't be here tomorrow But you and I well, we don't need to speak It's the secret that we keep

I know you better than you It's never more than I can take I wouldn't have it any other way Slip away in the night You find me holding my breath for you But you're not yourself 'Cause you will never slip away Come and suffer here You find me on my knees

Shake it, sh-shake it It keeps holding on and on And it's holding strong But it's holding on Even though I tried to make it Played the part, but I can't fake it It keeps holding on Even though I tried to break it Heaven knows that I can't shake it

Sitting on top of the world 'Cause when you got love, like we got love I'm holding on to heaven, holding on to you When you got one, like I got one Anyway you looking, it's a hell of a view Don't know where we're gonna be But I know we're gonna be So

I don't want you back If you don't want to give me your heart Until I know it's real But I'm still gonna love forever And I don't want to let you back Until I know All along I knew that you were Holding your feelings back from me And why ma said I'd do

It's too late I'm holding on a rope Got me ten feet off the ground That it's too late to apologize I say it's too late to apologize It's too late to apologize Said it's too late to apologize I'm hearin' what you say but I just can't make a sound You tell

I'm holding on to pieces of us Wait, wait, wait Don't leave me That I just can't let go I know this is a desperate kind of love But it feels like it's home 'Cause I just can't let go Where you going? (Where you going?)
