LYRICS
What do you see in your lights?
And what do you know that makes it all so out of sight?
And what do you say with just one voice?
I chose to choose you ’cause I hadn’t any choice
Well I’ve been sitting around
I’ve been feeling so bad
About the one that got away and what I thought I used to have
But that don’t cut it for me
So I’m gonna hold on ’til it all gets torn away
Yeah I’m gonna hold on ’til it all gets torn away
You can’t break my spirit, you can’t break my will
‘Cause I’m used to hanging on a window sill now
‘Til it all gets torn away
Well there’s emptiness in the swagger of millions
Empty husbands and empty wives
Empty bar rooms and empty pockets
I’m playing empty houses for empty lives
Well I’ve been sitting around
I’ve been feeling so bad
About the gallery job that just left the lab
But that don’t cut it for me
So I’m gonna hold on ’til it all gets torn away
Yeah I’m gonna hold on ’til it all gets torn away
You can’t break my spirit, you can’t break my will
‘Cause I’m used to hanging on a window sill now
‘Til it all gets torn away
Well I’ve been sitting around
I’ve been feeling so bad
About the gallery job that just left the lab
But that don’t cut it for me
So I’m gonna hold on ’til it all gets torn away
Yeah I’m gonna hold on ’til it all gets torn away
You can’t break my spirit, you can’t break my will
‘Cause I’m used to hanging on a window sill now
‘Til it all gets torn away
Well I’m gonna hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
You can’t break my spirit, you can’t break my will
‘Cause I’m used to hanging on a window sill
Gonna hold on yeah
