Fear written on your face like something's wrong here
Staring out the window, holding back tears
Looking for the people we both know
Where did we go?

Shadows moving
There're so many words we're not saying
There're so many words we're not saying

But this is not the way, it's not the way it's meant to be
And I know right now it hurts
But just don't give up on me
No, this is not the way, it's not the way it's meant to be
And I know this ship is burning
But I won't take you down with me

And when you feel like letting go, that's when you hold on
When you feel like letting go, that's when you hold on to me

And you know that sorry
Has never been my strength, so please forgive me
But you're not the only one here feeling lonely
Looking for somebody we once knew
There's so much to lose

And the shadows moving
There're so many words we're not saying

This is not the way, it's not the way it's meant to be
And I know right now it hurts
But just don't give up on me
No, this is not the way, it's not the way it's meant to be
And I know this ship is burning
But I won't take you down with me

And when you feel like letting go, that's when you hold on
When you feel like letting go, that's when you hold on to me
When you feel like giving up, that's when you hold on to me
Hold on to me

This is not the way, it's not the way it's meant to be
And I know right now it hurts
But just don't give up on me
No, this is not the way, it's not the way it's meant to be
And I know this ship is burning
But I won't take you down with me

When you feel like letting go, that's when you hold on
When you feel like letting go, that's when you hold on to me
Hold on to me
