You Keep Me Holding On
Verse 1
I close my eyes,
And I’m still seeing you,
I hear faint footsteps in the hall,
And I try not to notice,
I grapple with this madness,
never gaining an edge,
and oh, you've got me hanging by the toes,
with nowhere else to go.
Chorus
Ill still be here when the others fall,
Ill stick around through it all,
But maybe its time,
For me to close my eyes
So I don’t have to see,
This harsh reality,
You've made for me.
Verse 2
Ill wave goodbye,
just to see your face as I walk away,
Ill have to keep trying,
Maybe get myself a smile,
I see the darkness around you,
Thicken with his presence,
And oh, you've got me hanging by the neck,
Girl im such a wreck
Chorus
Verse 3
Your cruel and vindictive
Thats what keeps me around
Your smile the in your eyes,
That’s what keeps me going
But in the end,
You'll toss me away
And save me for a rainy day
When he's far away
And that’s just not ok
Chorus
Outro
And I wait,
For the times to change
When things aren’t the same
Where you chose the right path
Leading you into my arms
Instead of his cold chest
I close my eyes,
And I’m still seeing you,
I hear faint footsteps in the hall,
And I try not to notice,
I grapple with this madness,
never gaining an edge,
and oh, you've got me hanging by the toes,
with nowhere else to go.
Chorus
Ill still be here when the others fall,
Ill stick around through it all,
But maybe its time,
For me to close my eyes
So I don’t have to see,
This harsh reality,
You've made for me.
