 x2
Once  again,  i'm falling  to my knees.
 (I try to escape cause i just can't take it.)
Now  this feeling  is spreading  like a disease.
 (I fake another day and the wheel keeps turning.)
 This place  is so pathetic
 Doesn't  anybody get it
Is  there anybody home?
 (Is there anybody home?)
There's  nothing left.
We're  just a shadow of what  we used to  be.
In  the night  there's a fire  in my eyes.
 And this paradise  has become  a place we've come  to cry.
 When I open  your letter, the words  make it better.
 It takes  it all away.
 It keeps me holding on.
 x2
Here  we are,  pretending  we're ok.
 (You can say what you want but you still can't fool me.)
The  life we're living,  it's all  a masquerade.
 (I try to smile but i can't remember how)
So  how did we get so jaded.
Is  it so complicated.
To  not give up on me?
In  the night  there's a fire  in my eyes.
 And this paradise  has become  a place we've come  to cry.
 When I open  your letter, the words  make it better.
 It takes  it all away.
 It keeps me holding on.
Whenever  I need you
Wherever  I run to
I  know where to find you
It  keeps me holding on.
Whenever  I need you
Wherever  I run to
I  know where to find you
 you keep me holding on
 you keep me holding on
In  the night  there's a fire  in my eyes.
 And this paradise  has become  a place we've come  to cry.
 When I open  your letter, the words  make it better.
 It takes  it all away.
It  keeps me holding on
Whenever  I need you
Wherever  I run to
I  know where to find you
It  keeps me holding on.
Whenever  I need you
Wherever  I run to
I  know where to find you
 It keeps me holding on
