Hold On

I try to see your good intentions
Why I cannot reach your heart
I know our love
Isn't what it used to be
And now after all we've said and done
How do we keep the rising sun
From shutting down
Are we what we pretend to be?
And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
For a while
We thought we had it all
A thousand lights
They only fed the high that couldn’t last
Are we what we pretend to be?
And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
For they were right
All along
And I couldn't see
I should have let you know
So we tried to hold on
Somehow it all fell apart
And we knew it right from the start
