Holding On to Nothing Lyrics by Lovers and Liars

Before and After the Awakening

2008

[Verse 1]
It's been so long since you've shown me a sign of life
This feeling comes and goes, but it's here tonight
This time the hurt isn't worth putting up the fight
I wish my head could tell my heart how to get it right
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I'd be someone you'd love by now
Should I keep on waiting
While you keep fading?
[Chorus]
I keep holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to nothing
[Verse 2]
With every move I make, I only push you away
Why must I kill everything that I try to save?
Some want it all, but it's only you I crave
With every word I write, I'm only digging my grave
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I'd be someone you'd love by now
So I'll keep on waiting
While you keep fading
[Chorus]
I keep holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to nothing
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
I'd give you anything you want
I'd give you anything you want
But you want anything but me
[Chorus]
I keep holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to nothing
You have everything you need
And that's anyone but me
You have everything you need
And that's anyone but me
