Why Are We Holding On

Dreams
We both have them; we both want them to come true
For a time we thought we'd found them
Thought our dreams would carry on with me and you

Hopes
For the present; for the now and for the future
We wanted them realized
We were hoping to fulfill them with each other

Climb:
It's time we both admit
We can't live with what we've found
It's time for us to quit
Chasing a rainbow
That won't touch down

Chorus:
Why are we holding on
This dream is not the one
We're not what we want us to be
There's something else that we both need
We have to let us go because
We'll never be what we dream of
We both know our love is gone
Why are we holding on

Fantasies
They enticed; we tried to mold each other
Into what we thought we wanted
Tried to keep the obvious under cover

Reality
Oh it hurts; we don't want to say we're wrong
Truth hurts, but we have to live it
We need to find the courage to move on

Repeat Climb & Chorus

Bridge:
We've shared our disappointment
In the way we've come to be
We now know that what we wanted
Won't be found in you and me
Why do we hesitate at future
When we know this present's wrong
Why are we still standing here
Why are we holding on

Repeat Climb & Chorus
