I'm holding on to a life, I'll never get back It's too hard to let go I'm on the right train but the wrong tracks Trying not to derail Nothing is like it was before I know not who I am anymore Chasing something that's behind me When will I be set free?

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

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

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

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

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

And so I can't keep this up I have had enough 'cause you can count me out Well I'm up and I don't know why But I guess that's all that counts Looking 'round as I'm holding my head And I'm in somebody's house The sun it hits like a punch in the face With

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

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

Forget that boy, forget that boy You're holding back tears in your eyes Bad boy wanna fight but I never see him fighting for you He'll never realize what he's got Until it's gone and he'll lose you forever Girl you'll be alright, forget that boy You know
