holding on lyrics

How'd I let it get this far what was going through my mind
Why'd you seem to have it all, yet you're not mine
Started off as just good friends still we overstepped the line
'Coz falling for you was so easy, oh

You're everything I want, you're everything I need
You're everything I want my girl to be and even though I know
You're in someone else's heart, I can't bare to be apart
You see I've fallen for you and I've gotta let you go
And I know that I have got to find a way to get on with my life

I don't wanna let you go but it's killing me inside
How can I just carry on, I need some peace of mind
How do I just move along, I can't ignore the love so strong
So until I see this through I'll be holding on to you
To you, baby

Throughout the years with her I've tried to find the joy beyond the pain
But when the words and tears subside, girl it's still the same
And I can't look into her eyes without thinking about you
See I've tried but these feelings won't leave me, no

You're everything I want, you're everything I dream
You're everything I want my girl to be and even though I know
You're in someone else's arms, I can't bare to be apart
See girl I fell for you and I don't wanna say goodbye
And I know that I have got to find a way to get on with my life

I don't wanna let you go but it's killing me inside
How can I just carry on, I need some peace of mind
How do I just move along, I can't ignore the love so strong
So until I see this through I'll be holding on to you

I look away when he holds you for I'm afraid that I might find
The look in your eyes that I see when you were mine
So tell me why I've got to be the one to walk away
And leave you there in someone else's arms, I won't let you go away

I don't wanna let you go but it's killing me inside
How can I just carry on, I need some peace of mind
How do I just move along, I can't ignore the love so strong
So until I see this through I'll be holding on to you

I don't wanna let you go but it's killing me inside
How can I just carry on, I need some peace of mind
How do I just move along, I can't ignore the love so strong
So until I see this through I'll be holding on to you
