I have a hold of everything I’ve ever wanted Will somebody please tell me what to say? I’m lost for words and I can’t seem to find a way around the awful truth The terrible truth is I’m tired of running from You are, the only reason I would stay and you are the only thing that’s pushing me away Will you please stop asking me to stay When you know it has to (you know its has to) You know it has to be this way I have a hold of everything I’ve ever wanted I won’t let it slip away I can’t stand it when you’re yelling over me I try to speak, calm you down but it’s killing me To dance around the truth The terrible truth is I’m tired of running from You are, the only reason I would stay and you are the only thing that’s pushing me away Will you please stop asking me to stay When you know it has to (you know it has to) You know it has to be this way I have a hold of everything I’ve ever wanted I won’t let it slip away I couldn’t tell if you were glad that it was over I should have stayed the night Just one more night To make sure that you knew that I’d come back And I could see it in your eyes If it was up to you you’d rather have me home But it’s not your choice I wish I didn’t have to do this on my own I wish I didn’t have to do this on my own I can’t do this on my own I can’t do this on my own Will you please stop asking me to stay When you know it has to You know it has to be this way (This way) Will you please stop asking me to stay When you know it has to (you know it has to) You know it has to be this way I have a hold of everything I’ve ever wanted I won’t let it slip away
