Lyrics Karla Bonoff

Karla Bonoff

I Can't Hold On

Oh baby, this time it's a good-bye

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've just got to let me go

'Cause I can't hold on

I can't hold on

I can't hold on anymore

And 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

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 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 good-bye

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

How you could let her go

But look at me, I'm going under
