[Verse 1]
Something is changing and I don't know why
The world keeps on turning but I'm frozen in time
Sitting here
All that ever mattered to me lives in this room

The only thing keeping me going, oh, oh
All I know
Is I'm pulling my hand from your hold
But I'm not ready to let go, oh, oh
[Bridge]
(Oh, oh)

You're cutting through all of my hopes
And we've reached the end of the road
And all I know
Is I'm pulling my hand from your hold
But I'm not ready to let go
