Essential

We're holding on to nothing left to hold onto
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
The years have shown no kindness
For the hard times we've been through

We've squeezed the life from every dream
And still go right on bluffin'
With really nothin' left to hold onto

Chorus:

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold onto
Lets be honest with each other
That's the least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto

We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victoms of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
God only knows how long how hard we've tried

Repeat chorus

We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto

There's a picture that i carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just "someone i used to know"
Just someone, i used to spend some time with
Just a flame, that's lost its glow
But i don't them of the nights i cried without you
I say just "someone i used to know"

Just someone, i used to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them, how lost i am without you
I say just "someone i used to know"

I say just "someone i used to know"

Two people, together
It was just a dream until you came along
My heart was waiting just for you

Tomorrow, forever
We both heard these promises for far too long
And now you make the words come true

So touch me now
I need to have you close tonight
And show me how
You can me feel this way

# you and me, we are the right combination
For love, we're all we need
It's just you and me, we make the right combination
Straight from the heart, love is the key

Can't keep it, a secret
Everything i feel is written on my face
I can't hide my heart from you

You hold me, is magic
In your arms the world becomes a better place
Now i know what love can do

Here we go
Exactly where the road will lead us
I don't know
I just know that you'll be there

# you and me, we are the right combination
For love, we're all we need
It's just you and me, we make the right combination
Straight from the heart, love is the key

And whenever you, i'm there
Every stumble and fall, i share
I'll be yours through it all
Coz i care, about you baby

It's so easy to see, so strong
Now i know you and me, belong
I'll be by your side forever....

# you and me, we are the right combination
For love, we're all we need
It's just you and me, we make the right combination
Straight from the heart, love is the key

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh i could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'
Underground, underground

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh i could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

I've got reason a plenty for goin
This i know, this i know
The weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh i could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
