Holdin' On To Nothin' Lyrics

We're holding on to nothing left to hold onto 

I'm so tired of holding on to nothin' 

The years have shown no kindness 

For the hard times we've been through 

We've squeezed the life from every dream 

And still go right on bluffin' 

With really nothin' left to hold onto 

Chorus: 

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold onto 

Lets be honest with each other 

That's the least that we can do 

I feel guilty when they envy me and you 

We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto 

We were young and foolishly mistaken 

Victoms of a passion much too strong to be denied 

With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin' 

God only knows how long how hard we've tried 

Repeat Chorus 

We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto
