When you left, you left me nearly dead You left me nearly dead You left me nearly dead Up on the mountain over the edge You left me over the edge Up on the mountaintop No sign, no end, nothin' on the mend Nothin' on the mend, no sign of end I'm still alive, but you'll pretend That I'm alive in the end We've reached the dead end
And I've been holding on to you Yeh, I've been holding on to you I know, it's time I said goodbye But, damn it's hard to do
You wanted nothin' but the best Yeh, you wanted the best You shoulda got the best I wanted sex and drugs instead Ya know I wanted my drugs And sex, I got enough Years later everything has changed Yeh, things have changed And though I rearranged I'll take the blame but feel the same I couldn't stop the rain Up on the mountaintop
And I've been holding on to you Yeh, I've been holding on to you I know, it's time I said goodbye But, damn it's hard to do
And I've been holding on to you Yeh, I've been holding on to you I know, it's time I said goodbye But, damn it's hard to do
And I've been holding on to you Yeh, I've been holding on to you I know, it's time I said goodbye But, damn it's hard to do
I better leave now And I've been holding on to you (I better go) Yeh, I've been holding on to you too long (I better leave now) It's time I said goodbye
