I look around and I wonder

How much pain does it take

To admit to a failure

I've made a mistake



I talk like I hate you

I just need to be free

I don't mean to hurt you but

It's time to think about me



You say that you love me

You're making me cry



You say that you need me

But I'm not about to lie



Holding on to you

Is as mad as it seems

Holding on to you

Is the end of my dreams

Didn't know time could move so fast

You and I were living in the past

Holding on to you

Is as mad as it seems

Holding on to you

Is the end of our dreams

Didn't know time could move so fast

Before you know we're living in the past



Holding on to you is letting go of me



Was I ever so foolish

I tried so hard to believe

That you were the answer

But I was deceived



I talk like I hate you

But it just ain't the truth

While love lies sleeping

I'm gonna make my move



You say that you love me

You're making me cry



You say that you need me

But I'm not about to lie



Holding on to you

Is as mad as it seems

Holding on to you

Is the end of my dreams

Didn't know time could move so fast

You and I were living in the past

Holding on to you

Is as mad as it seems

Holding on to you

Is the end of our dreams

Didn't know time could move so fast

Before you know we're living in the past



Cos holding on to you is letting go of me



It's time to step to the future baby



Don't look back you know it ain't easy

When it's time for change

To make new arrangements baby

Don't look back

You know I can't lie



There goes my dream

You and I were living in the past



Holding on to you

Is as mad as it seems

Holding on to you

Is the end of my dreams

Didn't know time could move so fast

Before you know it we're living in the past



'Cos holding on to you is letting go of me

And I can't let go of me

And I won't let go of me

It's time to step to the future

I can do that baby



Make new arrangements baby

Make new arrangements baby



Can't let go of me
