Holding On


You start to cry when you look at the mirror
Dismiss your thoughts, but your doubts re-appear
Well ain't it sad that you're falling apart?
The lesson's been taught, but that's just where it starts

They warned you then, but you just closed your eyes
Your blinded kisses left you drowning in lies
Denied the truth and it's imploding again
You want compassion, but it's lost in the sand

In love (but still not!)
In love (but you're not!)

You thought for once that you had planned your escape
Repressed your doubts, until reality breaks
It ain't surprising that you're failing to see
You should've learnt, but it was not meant to be

They voiced concern, but you went right ahead
Their muted pleas all had you feeling misled
Ignored your heart and so it's one more step back
You want a future, but you're stuck in the past

In love (but still not!)
In love (but you're not!)

Holding on like nothing's wrong
While the waves all climbed these walls
They've all been surfacing to drown you out
But you tried so hard to stall

And now there's no one left to call
Now there's no one...

In love (but still not!)
In love (but still not!)

In love (but still not!)
In love (but you're not!)
