[Intro]
Oh, I keep holding on, yeah, I keep holding on
[Verse 1]
Why do I can't tell myself it's over, try to walk away but I stay,
Bite my tongue, hide my truth, in the end I can't betray,
Trying not to leave things in the dust, but my heart's torn in two,
In the silence of my mind, I wonder what I should do.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I see the pain, I see the shame,
But something in me won't let go of the flame.
[Chorus]
Why can't I leave it behind,
Why do I keep fighting my mind,
That fire in my soul, burning so bright,
Like a flame in the water, they fight through the night.
[Refrain]
Oh, I tell myself, "it's over," but I can't let it go,
Oh, I tell myself, "it's over," but I still hold on.
[Verse 2]
Humiliated and broken, I stare at the wall,
Why do I not surrender, why do I risk it all?
Pushed by a force I can't see, a silent ghost that haunts,
Stepping on my reason, in my own tears I jaunt.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I see the pain, I see the shame,
But something in me won't let go of the flame.
[Chorus]
Why can't I leave it behind,
Why do I keep fighting my mind,
That fire in my soul, burning so bright,
Like a flame in the water, they fight through the night.
[Bridge]
It's a fight, it's a war inside,
A battle where I can't hide,
The fire keeps burning, can't be denied,
A lonely blaze in a restless tide.
[Refrain]
Oh, I tell myself, "it's over," but I can't let it go,
Oh, I tell myself, "it's over," but I still hold on.
[Chorus]
Why can't I leave it behind,
Why do I keep fighting my mind,
That fire in my soul, burning so bright,
Like a flame in the water, they fight through the night.
[Outro]
Maybe someday I'll find peace, in giving up the fight,
Till then, this fire inside, keeps shining in the night.
