Holding on to Nothin'
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Love's Last Stand
Lyrics
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto
We are desperately trying to maintain our relationship even though there's nothing substantial left to cling to.
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
I'm exhausted from trying to hold onto a relationship that has little to no foundation.
The years have shown no kindness for the hard times we've been through
Over the years, our difficulties and challenges have not been met with any compassion or relief.
We've squeezed the life from every dream and still go right on bluffin'
We've exhausted the potential of every dream, yet we continue to pretend and deceive without anything meaningful to sustain us.
With really nothin' left to hold onto
We are left with virtually nothing to grasp onto, symbolizing the emptiness in our relationship.
Oh, why do we keep holding on with nothin' left to hold onto
Despite having no tangible reasons to hold on, we persist in desperately clinging to what remains.
Let's be honest with each other, that's the least that we can do
Let's be truthful with each other, as honesty is the least we can offer in this situation.
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
I feel a sense of guilt when others admire our relationship because they are unaware of its true emptiness.
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto
Reiteration of the desperate attempt to hold onto a relationship with no substantial foundation.
We were young and foolishly mistaken
We were young and foolish, making mistakes that now haunt our relationship.
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
We became victims of a passion that was too intense to resist or deny.
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
We have nothing to show for all the years we've spent pretending, except for tears.
God only knows how long, how hard we tried
Expressing the uncertainty and difficulty of how long and hard we've tried to make the relationship work.
Oh, why do we keep holding on with nothin' left to hold onto
Despite the lack of substance, we continue to cling to the remains of our relationship.
Let's be honest with each other, that's the least that we can do
Advocating for honesty as the minimum requirement for each other in the face of the relationship's emptiness.
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
Feeling a sense of guilt when others envy us, as they are unaware of the true state of our relationship.
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto
Repetition of the theme of holding onto a relationship despite having nothing substantial left to sustain it.
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto
Emphasizing once again the desperate attempt to maintain a relationship that lacks any meaningful foundation.
