lyrics

how do I say, I don't wanna walk away?
but you'd rather do your thing
I died today
I think it's a shame, but I know we're not the same
used to be, but nowadays..

I'm starting to think, now I'm gone
who would have stayed, who wouldn't take off?
but I always hold on a little too long

how do I stay cool and quiet in the face
of this pain? when you say, take
what you can get, but I get all I can take
ha. why, why do I anyway?

I'm starting to think, now I'm gone
who would have stayed, who wouldn't take off?
but I always hold on a little too long, oh yeah

I always hold on, I always hold on
a little too long, I always hold on
a little too long, I always hold on
a little too long, a little too long

what can I say in a song
you wouldn't play, you couldn't make up, no
but I'm ever in the wrong

I'm starting to think, now I'm gone
who would have stayed, who wouldn't take off?
but I always hold on a little too long, a little too long

I always hold on a little too long
I always hold on a little too long
