Holding On For So Long

I can't stand knowing
that it's really over for us now
I've done all that I can
and I still can't figure out how

how to make you see
that you meant the world and more
I would give anything
to watch you walk through my door

I've found someone new
and you've been with her for so long
I don't want to give up
but I can't pretend to be strong

why can't I just forget you
put all our memories in the past
you were my first love
and I just thought we would last

you always said you were glad
that I was the girl you lost it to
and I always felt the same way
but I thought it would stay just you

you can't just let go
of a first love gone wrong
no matter how many tears you cry
but you can only hold on for so long
