Hanging On

Last night I dreamed of you again

You swim your way up through my veins

Into my soul until you've reached my brain

You are the greatest part of me

So if dreaming's the only time you're near

Then waking up will be my nightmare

And at that very moment I jumped out of my bed

Trying to remember all the things you said

"Ronnie, I adore you, but nothing really lasts forever."

You gotta let me know

Don't leave me hanging

And complicate it

All we are is setting ourselves up to fall apart

Don't leave me hanging on

I am a lesson you will learn

I'd take away your pain and hurt

But I'm not strong enough to be your cure

I am the battle you will lose

You think that you are saving me

But I'm the one that's saving you so

And at that very moment you appeared in my bed

Looked you in your eyes and then I finally said

"Baby, I adore you, but this ain't gonna last forever."

You gotta let me know

Don't leave me hanging

And complicate it

All we are is setting ourselves up to fall apart

Don't leave me hanging on

This is all I have to offer

Sacrifice me on your altar

Like a lamb to the slaughter

Slit my throat, I'll die with honor

This is all I have to offer

Sacrifice me on your altar

Like a lamb to the slaughter

Slit my throat, I'll die with honor

Slit my throat, I'll die with honor

Don't leave me hanging

And complicate it

All we are is setting ourselves up to fall apart

Don't leave me hanging on

This is all I have to offer

Sacrifice me on your altar

Like a lamb to the slaughter

Slit my throat, I'll die with honor

This is all I have to offer

Sacrifice me on your altar

Like a lamb to the slaughter

Slit my throat, I'll die with honor

Don't leave me hanging on

Don't leave me hanging on
