The Longer You Hold On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can tell by the way you look through me As if I wasn't in the room at all And I can tell you're just waiting for the right time The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall [Chorus] Further in despair Did you ever really care? Was the thread that I've been hanging by Ever really there? I can tell you're just trying to choose your moment The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall [Verse 2] There was a time our love was like a pine tree Still green through winter's chill, strong and tall Darlin', if you plan to fell that timber The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall [Chorus] Further in despair Did you ever really care? Was the thread that I've been hanging by Ever really there? And I can tell you're just trying to choose your moment The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall
