Hanging On
Last night I dreamed of you againYou swim your way up through my veinsInto my soul until you've reached my brainYou are the greatest part of meSo if dreaming's the only time you're nearThen waking up will be my nightmare
And at that very moment I jumped out of my bedTrying to remember all the things you said"Ronnie, I adore you, but nothing really lasts forever."
You gotta let me knowDon't leave me hangingAnd complicate itAll we are is setting ourselves up to fall apartDon't leave me hanging on
I am a lesson you will learnI'd take away your pain and hurtBut I'm not strong enough to be your cureI am the battle you will loseYou think that you are saving meBut I'm the one that's saving you so
And at that very moment you appeared in my bedLooked you in your eyes and then I finally said"Baby, I adore you, but this ain't gonna last forever."
You gotta let me knowDon't leave me hangingAnd complicate itAll we are is setting ourselves up to fall apartDon't leave me hanging on
This is all I have to offerSacrifice me on your altarLike a lamb to the slaughterSlit my throat, I'll die with honorThis is all I have to offerSacrifice me on your altarLike a lamb to the slaughterSlit my throat, I'll die with honorSlit my throat, I'll die with honor
Don't leave me hangingAnd complicate itAll we are is setting ourselves up to fall apartDon't leave me hanging on
This is all I have to offerSacrifice me on your altarLike a lamb to the slaughterSlit my throat, I'll die with honorThis is all I have to offerSacrifice me on your altarLike a lamb to the slaughter
Don't leave me hanging on
