[Intro]
[Verse]
Oh, baby, this time it s a goodbye
And you can be sure that I won t cry
Our love is just a faded story
I m walking down the road
And you ve just got to let me go
[Chorus]
Cause, I can t hold on
I can t hold on
I can t hold on anymore
[Verse]
There was once that sweet lullaby
And were all those promises just lies
Well, I was just a fool to love you
I knew it all along
I can t look down, I know I m falling
[Chorus]
Cause, I can t hold on
I can t hold on
I can t hold on anymore
[Bridge]
When you act the way you do
I want to scream and shout
You keep on a-playing games
I walk around the block
And I think maybe you ll change
But just when it seems we ve got it all worked out
You start naming names
I don t believe that I was the one to blame
[Verse]
Any maybe next time you ll cry
When someone like me says good-bye
You ll wake up when she s gone and wonder
How you could let her go
But look at me, I m going under
[Chorus]
Cause, I can t hold on
I can t hold on
I can t hold on anymore, no more
[Chorus]
I can t hold on
I can t hold on
I can t hold on anymore
[Outro]
