There's so much you can't control
So much you can't predict
How could we have known
That it could hurt like this
I'm lying in our bed tonight
Tears are falling from my eyes
I'm staring at the ceiling
You're not here with me
And I remember when our love was young
Before the damage had been done
It's a long way to fall
From the top of the world
And I'm falling apart
I can't keep myself from wishing
I could fall into your arms
And we could hold this thing together
Oh, but I can't keep it together
Everything falls apart
I can't keep it together
This is gonna break my heart
Gonna break my heart
Wish that I could get some rest
Somewhere far away
Leave all of this mess
And drink away the pain
Even if I let you go
There's just more pain on down that road
If we're gonna have to face it
I don't wanna face it alone
Didn't know holding on
Had so much dark before the dawn
I'm trying to believe you
It's hard when I can't see you
When I'm falling apart
I can't keep myself from wishing
I could fall into your arms
And we could hold this thing together
Oh, but I can't keep it together
Everything falls apart
I can't keep it together
This is gonna break my heart
And I can't keep it together
Everything falls apart
And I can't keep it together
This is gonna break my heart
So will you hold on
Hold on
Hold on to me
And I will hold on
Hold on
Hold on to you
Don't leave me
Holdin'
Holdin'
Holdin' on below
I can't keep
Holdin'
Holdin' on alone
