Holding On
jay sean ft. rishi rich Lyrics

How'd I let it get this far
I'm questioning how I allowed my feelings for you to escalate to this point.

What was going through my mind
I'm reflecting on what thoughts led me to develop such intense feelings for you.

Why'd you seem to have it all
You appear to have everything I could possibly want in a partner.

Yet you're not mine
Despite my desire to be with you, you are already in a relationship with someone else.

Started off as just good friends
We began our relationship as platonic friends.

Still we always step the line
Even though we started as friends, we crossed boundaries and began to develop romantic feelings for one another.

Coz falling for you was so easy
I fell in love with you with ease because of how wonderful you are.

You're everything I want
You possess all the qualities I desire in a partner.

You're everything I need
You meet all the requirements I have for a successful, happy relationship.

You're everything I want my girl to be
You are the perfect example of the type of partner I envision myself with in the future.

And even though I know
Despite being aware that you are unavailable to me,

You're in someone else's heart
You already have another person in your heart.

I can't bare to be apart
I can't stand the thought of being separated from you.

See I've fallen for you
I am in love with you despite the obstacles that stand in the way.

And I've gotta let you go
I realize that I need to move on and accept that we can't be together.

And I know that I have got to
I am aware that it's time for me to start the process of moving on.

Find a way to get on with my life
I need to find a way to move forward and focus on other aspects of my life.

I don't wanna let you go (let you go)
I don't want to have to end our relationship and lose you from my life.

But it's killing me inside (inside)
The pain of not being able to be with you is taking a significant toll on me.

How can I just carry on
I'm struggling with how I'm supposed to continue my life without you by my side.

I need some piece of mind (need some piece of mind)
I need some assurance or comfort to ease the emotional turbulence I am experiencing.

How do I just move along (along)
I'm trying to figure out how to let go and move on from my intense feelings for you.

And ignore the love so strong (so strong)
I'm finding it challenging to disregard the strong feelings of love I have for you.

To you... baby...
Despite everything, you are still the one I love and desire.

Throughout the years with her I've tried
Over time, I have been unsuccessful in putting my feelings for you aside while dating someone else.

To find the joy beyond the pain
I have searched for happiness in this relationship despite the ongoing ache I feel over not being with you.

But when the words and tears subside
When conflicts arise, and we've both cried, it becomes apparent that I can't ignore my true feelings.

Girl it's still the same
My feelings for you persist despite trying to forget about you.

And I can't look into her eyes
I'm unable to look at my current partner in the same way I do you.

Without thinking about you
Thoughts of you continually interrupt my emotions and memory.

See I've tried but these feelings won't leave me
Even after multiple attempts to suppress my feelings, they won't go away.

And I don't wanna say goodbye
I'm not ready to let go of what we have, even if it's unlikely.

I look away when he holds you
It's difficult for me to see you with someone else, so I tend to avoid looking at you together.

For I'm afraid that I might find
I worry that looking at you two might trigger overwhelming emotions and memories.

The look in your eyes
Your eyes are the windows to your soul, and I can't help but read them for any sign of reciprocation.

That I see when you were mine
I'm reminded of how you used to look at me during the time when our relationship was at its strongest.

So tell me why I've got to be
I'm pondering why fate has decided that you and I can't be together.

The one to walk away
I feel as though I must be the one to end things and walk away.

And leave you there in someone else's arms
It breaks my heart to think of leaving you in someone else's embrace.

So until I see this through (till I...till I)
Until I'm able to fully process my emotions and let them go,

I'll be holding on to you
I'll continue to hold on to the hope of us and the memory of what we had together.
