i can't hold on

oh baby

this time it's goodbye

and you can be sure that i won't cry

our love is just a faded story

i'm walking down the road

and you just got to let me go

'cause i can't hold on

i can't hold on

i can't hold on anymore

well

what was that sweet lullaby

and were all those promises just lies

well

i was just a fool to love you

i knew it all along

i can't look down

i know i'm falling

'cause i can't hold on

i can't hold on

i can't hold on anymore

when you act the way that you do

i want to scream and shout

you keep on playing games

i walk around the block

and i think maybe you'll change

but just when it seems we've got it all worked out

you start naming names

i don't believe that i was the one to blame

any maybe next time you'll cry

when someone like me says goodbye

you'll wake up when she's gone and wonder

how you could let her go

but look at me

i'm going under

'cause i can't hold on

i can't hold on

i can't hold on anymore

no

i can't hold on

i can't hold on

i can't hold on anymore
