She said she loved me all night long

I couldn't help but let her string my heart along

I knew better, I still do, but I'm not the first man

Who's ever played the fool

So tell me, why do I keep holding on?

Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?

Tell me, why can't I just let go?

Somebody knows, then tell me

I won't point the finger but I'll take the blame

'Cause I saw her coming from a million miles away

I should've fought the feeling but I gave in

'Cause those lyin' blue eyes kept on pulling me back in

So tell me, why do I keep holding on?

Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?

Then tell me, why can't I just let go?

Somebody knows, then tell me

So tell me why do I keep holding on?

Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?

Then tell me why can't I just let go?

Somebody knows, somebody knows, then tell me

Oh, why can't you just tell me if you know?
