Hold On

So this is how it goes

We both know

There is some semblance of attraction

But I can’t let it show

‘Cause only I know

That you’ll burn up in this reaction

You’d best keep your distance

Let this be good riddance

We both know I tried

But now you’d better run and hide

For my persistence and

All my resistance will

Like knives, cut you up inside

Hold on, hold on and you will see

Hold on, hold on, hold on,

You’re better off with me gone

Sometimes I feel ashamed

Of the games

I play to make our heart beat faster

And I’m the one to blame

‘Cause even though I feel the same,

I am capable of only disaster

Please yield to my warnings,

You’ll wake up in the morning

Only to find

I’m no longer by your side

It’s not that you’ve wronged me or

That I’ve been longing for

Something aside

It’s just that I can never be alright

Hold on, hold on and you will see

Hold on, hold on, hold on,

You’re better off with me gone

And what hurts me the most is that you’ll move on

And find someone to make you happier than I could

And I’ll stil be alone, ‘cause I have never known

How to make love last when we know it should
