I know you've been going through some things
The pain you hold inside's written on your face
I know you're 'bout tired of the rain
Well, baby, so am I, but I know things can change
Well, you can die, you can sigh, you can cry, to your midnight blue
But that's not you, no, no
Cause I know you're stronger
It's apparent to me so do you

[Chorus:]
If you just hold on
I swear everything'll be okay
I know you're nervous
I know, but baby, give it some time
Things will go your way, my love
If you just hold on
I swear everything'll be okay
I know that you're nervous
Baby, give it some time
Things will go your way

I know it's been heavy on your mind
Baby, give him up, he's not worth your time
Where is it that says you need a guy
Well, you don't need his love to justify your life
So, he can go, let him go, make him go
You should want him to
So can you
I know that you're stronger
It's getting clearer to me
So do you

[Chorus]

So, don't let your defenses down
I know that somehow you'll work it out
I know
You should just believe in yourself, yourself

[Chorus]

I know
I know
[Fade out]

walking on high hopes
living on tight ropes
running with your feet off the ground
it used to be magic
but now its only getting you down

i miss the sunshine
that was a good friend of mine
cant stand it as my life goes by
waiting for something
but nothings gonna happen tonight

walking down a one way road
and you still dont know which way to turn

just hold on
just hold on
when you're feeling like you cant go on
just hold on
just hold on

riding life's rollercoaster
you're making the most of
what you can and what you cant have
hoping for someone
to show you to another pain

walking down a one way road
and you still don't know which way to turn

just hold on
just hold on
when you're feeling like you cant go on
just hold on
just hold on

when you think you cant make it
just hold on
just hold on
just hold on
just hold on

when you're feeling like you cant go on
just hold on ['til end]

Funny how I'm on myself with you
Than I ever knew
If I see that its eleven I'll say its seven
to spend more time with you

So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening
Think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defence
I reach for someone new

Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have

Even though I've been with someone else
I'm so happy when I'm with you
And here we are again on some lost weekend
Yeh we are one or two

So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening
Think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defence
I know that I had you

Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have

Nothing leaves your mind but breaks your heart
But we both knew this from the start
I could mend your life, or ease your pain

Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Hold on to what we have
Hold on, hold on
