Song Lyrics

I look around and I wonder
How much pain does it take
To admit to a failure
I`ve made a mistake

I talk like I hate you
I just need to be free
I don`t mean to hurt you but
It`s time to think about me

You say that you love me
You`re making me cry

You say that you need me
But I`m not about to lie

Holding on to you
Is as mad as it seems
Holding on to you
Is the end of my dreams
Didn`t know time could move so fast
You and I were living in the past
Holding on to you
Is as mad as it seems
Holding on to you
Is the end of our dreams
Didn`t know time could move so fast
Before you know we`re living in the past

Holding on to you is letting go of me
Was I ever so foolish
I tried so hard to believe
That you were the answer
But I was deceived

I talk like I hate you
But it just ain`t the truth
While love lies sleeping
I`m gonna make my move

You say that you love me
You`re making me cry

You say that you need me
But I`m not about to lie

Holding on to you
Is as mad as it seems
Holding on to you
Is the end of my dreams
Didn`t know time could move so fast
You and I were living in the past
Holding on to you
Is as mad as it seems
Holding on to you
Is the end of our dreams
Didn`t know time could move so fast
Before you know we`re living in the past

'Cause holding on to you is letting go of me
It`s time to step to the future baby
Don`t look back you know it ain`t easy
When it`s time for change
To make new arrangements baby
Don`t look back
You know I can`t lie

There goes my dream
You and I were living in the past

Holding on to you
Is as mad as it seems
Holding on to you
Is the end of my dreams
Didn`t know time could move so fast
Before you know it we`re living in the past

`Cause holding on to you is letting go of me
And I can`t let go of me
And I won`t let go of me
It`s time to step to the future
I can do that baby

Make new arrangements baby
Make new arrangements baby

Can`t let go of me
