We`re holding on with nothin` left to hold on to
I`m so tired of holding on to nothin`
The years have shown no kindness for the hard times that we`ve been through
We`ve squeezed the life from every dream and still go on bluffin`
With really nothing left to hold on to
Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to
Let`s be honest with each other that`s at least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We`re holding on with nothing left to hold on to
[ steel ]
We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we`ve been fakin`
God only knows how long how hard we`ve tried
Oh why do we keep holding on...
We`re holding on with nothing left to hold on to
