Lyrics
JUST HANGIN? ON
© Steve and Leora Mechanic 2002
Verse 1:
A second chance to get things right
One future ended, another so bright
My husband behind me, now you by my side
A love that was missing, I just couldn?t hide
Verse 2:
I felt what you needed, you sensed what I felt
You touched me in places, your touch made me melt
It all seemed so perfect, so special and rare
You had your problems but I didn?t care
Chorus:
My trusted friend, I buried your lies
In a shallow grave with all of my sighs
Tell me what?s left when everything?s gone
I can?t keep holding to just hanging on
Verse 3:
I guess I was happy, (I?m still not so sure)
You?d spout your half-truths as you waltzed thru the door
I?d ask the same questions, you?d try not to fall
Excuses, delusions and then your drunk call
Chorus
Verse 4:
I?m crawling thru darkness cause you were my light
I?m shattered, I?m battered but I?m gonna fight
Who can I turn to, to set myself free?
My question?s been answered and the answer is me
Chorus
