Still Holding On
Jessikah Bailey 1988 (United States)
the way it used to be with us
is what i wish we shared,
knowing that if i ever needed
you or missed you, you were
always a phone call away
now i just think and dream,
because i know that luxury
is gone, my life is moving on
but my heart is still, wondering
if that's what you feel, i
have never regretted anything
but i do regret letting you go.
i should've stood tall and strong
and fought for our love. i know it
only hurts me to think about the past but it hurts even more to forget it, there has to be a reason
that i can't let go of you,
and i never will until my
heart is through.
