Can't Hold On

by Some Random Human   May 25, 2010


They always say that I'll be alright,
but they don't know how I hurt at night,
they always say that I'll be fine,
but it's not the same if you're not mine,
they always say that I've got to move on,
but I've got nowhere to go now that you're gone,
they always say that time will heal,
but that's not the case, 'cause time stands still,

I guess I didn't do enough,
to hold onto you, that's my luck,
I guess I didn't do the stuff,
you wanted me to, and now I'm stuck,
now I'm alone, I've lost my hope,
don't know what to do, 'cause you are gone,
got no one to turn to, I'm all alone,
what do I do, I can't hold on,

Every night I sit and cry,
wondering why I can't get by,
it's so hard just to face the day,
knowing that you're so far away,
every time I see you I fall back down,
memories of us start to surround,
every thought that's in my mind,
every time our eyes align,

I guess I didn't do enough,
to hold onto you, that's my luck,
I guess I didn't do the stuff,
you wanted me to, and now I'm stuck,
now I'm alone, I've lost my hope,
don't know what to do, 'cause you are gone,
got no one to turn to, I'm all alone,
what do I do, I can't hold on,

So it's been a long time, seems like yesterday,
every day's the same, my life's in replay,
I see you leaving over and over again,
and feel the pain, I just can't win,
it's too hard to take, it's too much to bare,
this life isn't right, it's just not fair,
but what can I do, if you don't see,
the love I have for you will always be,

I guess I didn't do enough,
to hold onto you, that's my luck,
I guess I didn't do the stuff,
you wanted me to, and now I'm stuck,
now I'm alone, I've lost my hope,
don't know what to do, 'cause you are gone,
got no one to turn to, I'm all alone,
what do I do, I can't hold on,

I guess I didn't do enough,
to hold onto you, that's my luck,
I guess I didn't do the stuff,
you wanted me to, and now I'm stuck,
now I'm alone, I've lost my hope,
don't know what to do, 'cause you are gone,
got no one to turn to, I'm all alone,
what do I do, I can't hold on...
