I try to see your good intentions
Why? I cannot reach your heart
I know our love isn't what it used to be

And now, after all we said and done
How we keep the rising sun from shuttin' down?
Are we what we pretend to be?

And we couldn't find what we're looking for
We failed to read the writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

For a while, we thought we had it all
A thousand lights, they only fed the high that couldn't last
Are we what we pretend to be?

And we couldn't find what we're looking for
We failed to read the writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

For they were right, all along
And I couldn't see, I should've let you know
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

Somehow it all fell apart
And we knew it right from the start

And we couldn't find what we're looking for
We failed to read the writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
We tried to hold on

For they were right, all along
And I couldn't see, I should've let you know
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on
