Holding On to Nothin'

We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto

I'm so tired of holdin' on to nothin'

The years have shown no kindness

For the hard times we've been through

We've squeezed the life from every dream

And still go right on bluffin'

With really nothin' left to hold onto

Oh, why do we keep holding on with nothin' left to hold onto?

Let's be honest with each other

That's the least that we can do

I feel guilty when they envy me and you

We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto

We were young and foolishly mistaken

Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied

With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'

God only knows how long, how hard we've tried

Oh, why do we keep holding on with nothin' left to hold onto?

Let's be honest with each other

That's the least that we can do

I feel guilty when they envy me and you

We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto

We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto
