Lyrics James LaBrie

James LaBrie

Holding On

Sitting here, silently

As you tear me down

With your words all night

What went wrong?

You're not you

And it's scaring me

Am I hearing you right?

Like a house of cards in the wind

One big gust and

We could cave in

I don't want us

Haunted by what might have been

So I'm holding on

Holding on, holding on

I just don't want to let go

I'm holding on, holding on, holding on

Cause deep down I already know

We're close

And there's no turning back once

We're down that road

So I'm holding on, holding on

I'm holding on to you

3 a.m., half asleep

On a beat up couch

Praying that we'll pull through

If I could I'd go back

And fix my mistakes

All the things I can't undo

Like a house of cards in the wind

One big gust and

We could cave in

I don't want us

Haunted by what might have been

So I'm holding on

Holding on, holding on

I just don't want to let go

I'm holding on, holding on, holding on

Cause deep down I already know

We're close

And there's no turning back once

We're down that road

I'm holding on, holding on

I'm holding on to you

Stop placing the blame because

Neither of us are perfect

It's not complicated

So don't analyze it to death
