Holding On Lyrics

Hold me close for one last time

While I sink into your memory

And remember how it could be

If we turned out fine

Here we go again Russian roulette

Kisses from an empty bottle

Keeping one hand on the throttle

And placing bets

I wish I could tell you I'm sorry

But how do I say

I can't believe I acted that way

Without sounding like I'm making excuses

For all that I've done

Instead I thought I could run

I was wrong

I'm holding on, still holding on

I know it's too late but babe I was wrong

Looking back I guess the signs were there

We were so intoxicated

Maybe just infatuated

But we didn't care

Just another night and I'm drunk on you

All consuming and destructive

Is passion always so seductive

When it's new

I wish I could tell you I'm sorry

But how do I say

I can't believe I acted that way

Without sounding like I'm making excuses

For all that I've done

Instead I thought I could run

I was wrong

I'm holding on, still holding on

I know it's too late but babe I was wrong

Just another lost tragic love affair

And we're both better off somehow

I would never change all the time we shared

But we're different people now

I wish I could tell you I'm sorry

But how do I say

I can't believe I acted that way

Without sounding like I'm making excuses

For all that I've done

Instead I thought I could run

I was wrong

I'm holding on, still holding on

I know it's too late but babe I was wrong

I'm holding on, still holding on

I know it's too late but babe I was wrong

Hold me close for one last time

While I sink into your memory

And remember how it could be

If we turned out fine
