Lyrics
HANGING ON
I look at you, all I see is a face of a stranger
Baby after all this time, can't you see that we're in danger
Of falling apart with all our dreams crashing down around us
Try as we may, we only delay what is happening between us
CHORUS
We're hanging on, hanging on
Hanging on to love that is gone
We're hanging on, hanging on
Hanging on to love that is gone
We must let go before we start to destroy each other
Maybe then we can still be friends
Instead of hate ridden angry lovers
That stab at the heart and ridicule each others confessions
Twisting the knife and destroying the life
Of a love that once gave us pleasure
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Gone are the days when we used to laugh
Gone are the days when the world stopped for one another
All that remains are our memories
Of two people that once fell in love
But now the time has come
To give it all up
CHORUS
