Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sweetness of your voice Makes my knees lose their patience They'll give in, they'll give out Sick and tired of waiting Caught in the quick sand Won't you lend me your hand? Elbow deep in your memory Enraptured in tides Tsunami eyes Pullin' me beneath [Pre-Chorus] And there's something about when you lose what you want And I wanted you to stay But you can't and you won't 'cause you're already gone And you took a part of me [Chorus] Why am I holding on? Why am I holding on? What am I holding on? Holding on to [Verse 2] I tried to be satisfied without your company But the empty space by the bookcase Keeps reminding me that you've moved on So why am I still chained? It's not the you in reality who I see it's the you inside my brain [Pre-Chorus] And there's something about when you lose what you want And I wanted you to stay But you can't and you won't 'cause you're already gone And you took a part of me [Chorus] Why am I holding on? Why am I holding on? What am I holding on? Holding on to Why am I holding on? Why am I holding on? What am I holding on? Holding on to [Bridge] Out through the window Down the fire escape Free my hands My wrists have lost their shape I've been cut loose and I have no use For your inconsistent taste 'cause when gravity hits there's no forgiveness And I won't recall your name Your name [Chorus] Why am I holding on? Why am I holding on? What am I holding on? Holding on to Why am I holding on? Why am I holding on? What am I holding on? Holding on to Why am I holding on? Why am I holding on? What am I holding on? Holding on to
