Hanging On

In this silent room, your echo's all I hear
Melodies of you, they still linger near
(Mmm, yeah)
Walls whisper the secrets we once shared
I'm searching for you, but you're not there
(Where you at? Where you at?)

And I'm wondering
Lost in the cold, I'm wondering
Why can't I just close this door?
Why does my heart beg for more?

What is it that keeps me hanging on?
(I don't know, I don't know)
Why can't I forget you now you're gone?
(Tell me why, tell me why)
It's not what I thought love was about
(I guess, I guess)
We get what we want, but now I doubt
(Oh, oh)

Every note and line, brings me back to you
Forgetting all I want, but it never comes true
(Yeah, yeah)
Long days stretch out, but time stands still
Lost in memories I can't unfeel
(I can't, I can't)

And I'm questioning
In the drifts of snow, I'm questioning
(Why, why)
What ties me down, won't let me flee?
What in your spell has captured me?

What is it that keeps me hanging on?
Why does my heart beg for more?
What is it that keeps me hanging on?
(I don't know, I don't know)
Why can't I forget you now you're gone?
(Tell me why, tell me why)
It's not what I thought love was about
(I guess, I guess)
We get what we want, but now I doubt
(Oh, oh)

Maybe we crave what's not meant to be
(Hmm, hmm)
Or find comfort in old agony
In the whispers of what we used to know
There's a truth that won't let me go
(Let me go)

What in your spell has captured me?
What is it that keeps me hanging on?
Why does my heart beg for more?
What is it that keeps me hanging on?
(I don't know, I don't know)
Why can't I forget you now you're gone?
(Tell me why, tell me why)
It's not what I thought love was about
(I guess, I guess)
We get what we want, I'm filled with doubt
(Oh, oh)

I guess we get what we want
Even if it's not what we need
(Not what we need)
(Slowly, slowly)
But your memory still takes the lead
(Always, always)
