hangin' on for dear life

my

my how things have changed

all of my friends family men

pc and pta

and no one's coming out to play

they think i've got it made

and so i smile

and i pretend

yeah i'm a lucky guy

but on the inside

i'm just hangin' on for dear life

waiting for the wind to change

running in circles

trying to make a getaway

hangin' on for dear life

gettin' harder every day

tryin' to get you off my mind

ever since you went away

maybe it's been too long

for me to say that i was wrong

but if it's not too late

i wanna set the record straight

why try to hide the truth?

you know that i could never lie to you

you can see behind my smile

you can see inside

i'm just hangin' on baby

waiting for the wind to change

round and round

got to make a getaway

hangin' on

gets harder every day

i can't get you off my mind

ever since you went away

i got no one i can run to

no one to turn to i know

that's the price i gotta pay

every minute every day

i got nothing to come home to

living without you

i'm hangin' on for dear life

hangin' on

you could always see behind my smile

you can see inside
