Lyrics

Why do I keep holding on?
I feel my life with you ? is still nearly gone.
My fantasies and broken heart ?. in pieces next to me.

You shined on me like no one else,
I tried to do the best anyone can do.
Still what was enough for me ?. was not enough for you.

Well I showed you another side of me,
That nobody else was meant to see.
You found it weak ?. then turned the other way.

Why do I keep holding on?
I guess my love for you ? is still very strong.
But you and I ?.have gone our separate ways.

I?m trying hard to understand,
Why your not with me ?. walking hand in hand.
I did my best ?. to please you everyday.

Well I?ve been a victim, now my heart is shattered.
What I thought was love is now torn and tattered.
A thought of you ?. still brings me to my knees.

All those times I needed you with me,
So we could share each other?s company.
You?re chasing rainbows for ?. what?s on the other side.
Then you?d give a call as though you cared,
I?m sitting home alone and feeling scared.
Will this feeling ever go away in me.

I say that I?m not holding on,
But deep inside my love ?. is never gone.
The pain I feel is with me everyday.
So do I just keep holding on?
And hope the hurt sometime ?. will be passing on.
Then I can start ?. to live my life again.

I shed a tear deep inside ?. when I think we?re through
There?s a hole in my heart ?. I kept my love for you
And now a lonely feeling blows through me.

I walked the path of lovers from the past,
Who loved another though it didn?t last.
And ?maybe someday? are ?. the only words I hear.
Those empty words are meaning nothing more
You might return to me but your not sure.
By ?maybe someday? I?ll ?. have someone loving me.

WHY DO I KEEP HOLDING ON




BG?s - Why did I keep holding on?

I guess I loved you more than you ever knew.

BG?s - Why did I keep holding on?

I love you never really ?. got to know.

BG?s - Why did I keep holding on?

Sometimes love is not ?. supposed to be.

BG?s ? Why did I keep holding on?

Now I know ?this was you and me.

BG?s ? Why did I keep holding on?

So now I am leaving ?. in a saddened haze.

BG?s ? Why did I keep holding on?

With dreams of love ?. in a perfect way.

BG?s ? Why did I keep holding on?

Why did I keep holding on?

BG?s ? Why did I keep holding on?

Why did I keep holding on?

BG?s ? Why did I keep holding on?
