I keep holding out for you And I keep holding out for you Settle up my debts And dial your number Tell me where you slept Better not have been with another Spent the last of my coin on a letter to you Wrote it in cursive like I knew what to do How many ways can I say I'm sorry? I'm trying to get us to the next party What'd you expect From these bastard bones? Called you collect For reasons God only knows I keep holding out for you (Keep holding) I keep holding out for you (Keep holding) I know you get the feeling like you're in it alone But there's only certain things you really need to know Like I keep holding out for you (Keep holding) Woke up in a sweat From the weight of their eyes Always knew this would end I had to leave you behind Took me away, then they loosened my jaw Gave it all up, now I'm taking the fall This handsome villain is forever yours Between the bars when I knew you needed more What'd you expect? It's the same story I won't be the one Who leaves you lonely I keep holding out for you (Keep holding) I keep holding out for you (Keep holding) I keep holding out for you I'm never gonna be the one Be the one who leaves you lonely I keep holding out for you I'm never gonna be the one So be the one who leaves me lonely
