Lyrics
You're only lonely on your own
You're only lonely holding on
Hold on to what we've got
You're only lonely on your own
You're only lonely holding on
Hold on to what we've got
Here tonight
There's nobody holding back
Deep inside
There is only what you lack
The rest just fades to black
You're only lonely on your own
You're only lonely holding on
Hold on to what we've got
You're only lonely on your own
You're only lonely holding on
Hold on to what we've got
Open wide
You drink all defenses down
Wounded pride
Where the best intentions drown
Don't buy another round
Stars align
Promise release should they collide
And ties that bind, they
Can't compete with rising tides
Of need so long denied
Just hold on
There's too much here to lose
When morning comes
There's no way to undo
And what went wrong
Isn't fate, no, its down to you
Here tonight
Only forward, no way back
You decide
What you break,
and what's just cracked
Is that too much to ask?
You're only lonely on your own
You're only lonely holding on
Hold on to what we've got
You're only lonely on your own
You're only lonely holding on
Hold on to what we've got
Let go of what we're not
