And I keep holding out for you
Settle up my debts
And dial your number
Tell me where you slept
Better not have been with another
Spent the last of my coin on a letter to you
Wrote it in cursive like I knew what to do
How many ways can I say I'm sorry?
I'm trying to get us to the next party
What'd you expect
From these bastard bones?
Called you collect
For reasons God only knows
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I know you get the feeling like you're in it alone
But there's only certain things you really need to know
Like I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
Woke up in a sweat
From the weight of their eyes
Always knew this would end
I had to leave you behind
Took me away, then they loosened my jaw
Gave it all up, now I'm taking the fall
This handsome villain is forever yours
Between the bars when I knew you needed more
What'd you expect?
It's the same story
I won't be the one
Who leaves you lonely
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you
I'm never gonna be the one
Be the one who leaves you lonely
I keep holding out for you
I'm never gonna be the one
So be the one who leaves me lonely
I keep holding out for you And I keep holding out for you Settle up my debts And dial your number Tell me where you slept Better not have been with another Spent the last of my coin on a letter to you Wrote it in cursive like I knew what to do How many ways can I say I'm sorry? I'm trying to get us to the next party What'd you expect From these bastard bones?
