Holding On
Small Heather Lyrics

I look around and I wonder
Observing my surroundings, I contemplate

How much pain does it take
What amount of agony must I experience

To admit to a failure
To confess my own mistake

I've made a mistake
I acknowledge my wrongdoing

I talk like I hate you
Though my words convey animosity

I just need to be free
I simply require independence

I don't mean to hurt you but
My intention isn't to cause you pain, however

It's time to think about me
It's now necessary to focus on myself

You say that you love me
You profess your love to me

You're making me cry
Your actions cause me to weep

You say that you need me
You assert that you require me

But I'm not about to lie
I won't deceive you

Holding on to you
Refusing to release you

Is as mad as it seems
This action is as insane as it appears

Is the end of my dreams
Ending the hope I had

Didn't know time could move so fast
I was unaware of how quickly time passes

You and I were living in the past
We existed in the previous era

Holding on to you
Continuing to cling to you

Is as mad as it seems
This act is as irrational as it appears

Is the end of our dreams
As well as the conclusion of our goals

Before you know we're living in the past
Ere you realize, we're dwelling in history

'Cause holding on to you is letting go of me
For holding onto you, I must relinquish myself

Was I ever so foolish
Was I once so naive

I tried so hard to believe
I made a great effort to have faith

That you were the answer
That you were the solution

But I was deceived
But I was misled

But it just ain't the truth
But it is not the reality

While love lies sleeping
When adoration slumbers

I'm gonna make my move
I will make my decision

It's time to step to the future baby
It's necessary to move forward, dear

Don't look back you know it ain't easy
Don't reminisce, you understand it's arduous

When it's time for change
When it's an hour for transformation

To make new arrangements baby
To devise novel plans, dear

There goes my dream
My aspiration disappears

Can't let go of me
I can't relinquish myself
