Waiting for the end to come / wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light / thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go
I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so
I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got
What was left when that fire was gone I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even know what kind of things I said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead so Picking up the pieces now where to begin The hardest part of ending is starting again
All I want to do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got
This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision (I'm holding on to what I haven't got) But you listen through the tone and the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady, something empty's within 'em We say yeah / with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there (Holding on to what I haven't got) 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it / forget it / let it all disappear
