I Can’t Hold On Lyrics By Karla Bonoff

    oh baby this time it’s goodbye
    and you can be sure that i won’t cry
    our love is just a faded story
    i’m walking down the road
    and you just got to let me go ’cause

    i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on anymore

    well what was that sweet lullaby
    and were all those promises just lies
    well i was just a fool to love you
    i knew it all along
    i can’t look down i know i’m falling

    ’cause i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on anymore

    when you act the way that you do
    i want to scream and shout
    you keep on playing games
    i walk around the block and i think maybe you’ll change
    but just when it seems we’ve got it all worked out
    you start naming names
    i don’t believe that i was the one to blame

    and maybe next time you’ll cry
    when someone like me says goodbye
    you’ll wake up when she’s gone and wonder
    how you could let her go
    but look at me i’m going under

    ’cause i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on anymore
    no
    i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on
    i can’t hold on anymore
