Holding On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Empty glances and no romance
A conversation only "Hi"
You know my ways and how to play me
I'm just your habit for killing time

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's all wrong
But I just don't feel strong
So I keep holding on
And I ask you, I ask you please to

[Chorus]
Hold me before you go
We don't hold each other anymore
And kiss me like you miss me
'Cause it feels like we're just
Feels like we're holding on

[Verse 2]
We only talk when things go wrong
We never seem to have much fun
Your life is always on the run, away from me
I try to fix it, make it right
But you feel cold in bed at night
When I hold you close up tight
I still miss you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's all wrong
But I just don't feel strong
So I keep holding on
And I ask you, I ask you please just–

[Chorus]
Hold me before you go
We don't hold each other anymore
And kiss me like you miss me
'Cause it feels like we're just
Feels like we're holding on

[Bridge]
There was a time when our love it was so sweet
And nothing stood between us
And the world seemed so complete
And now it feels like there's no earth beneath my feet
I'm falling into darkness
And it's you I need to see

[Chorus]
Hold me before you go
We don't hold each other anymore
And kiss me like you miss me
'Cause it feels like we're just, feels like we're holding on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
