We're holding on to nothing left to hold onto

I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'

The years have shown no kindness

For the hard times we've been through



We've squeezed the life from every dream

And still go right on bluffin'

With really nothin' left to hold onto



Chorus:



Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold onto

Lets be honest with each other

That's the least that we can do

I feel guilty when they envy me and you

We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto



We were young and foolishly mistaken

Victoms 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



Repeat Chorus



We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto
