Held On Too Long (From “American Song Contest”)

We were living life for love, lost in the sex
And the drugs, it was all I ever had
I was out of my mind, it was all a blur to me sometimes
But you were all I ever had

I put a lid back on the bottle
And I put an end to me and you
And I don't think about tomorrow
'Cause I know that I lost you

So just go on with your life
Don't you worry 'bout me, I'll be fine
I thought I could save us, but I was wrong
I guess we held on too long

I kept it in the back of my mind
I knew that we were running out of time
But still, I stayed right by your side
I could tell that there was someone else
By the way you put me on the shelf
And I knew that it was time to say goodbye

So just go on with your life
Don't you worry 'bout me, I'll be fine
I thought I could save us, but I was wrong
I guess we held on too long
