They say patience is a virtue  
But I've been waiting too long  
I believed in your promises  
And it hurts to see I was wrong  
 
The one more tries, the sleepless nights  
The countless tears that I've cried  
 
[Chorus:] 
lt Why should I keep holding on  
When I know someone new is holding you  
Why should I keep holding on  
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone  
 
Stairways leading down to nowhere  
Roads that never end  
Why keep on going 'round in circles  
To break my heart again  
 
Caressed my hair, then left me there  
Alone but you don't care  
Why should I keep holding on  
When I know someone new is holding you  
Why should I keep holding on  
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone  
 
I used to think that I should blame myself  
But it wasn't me who was seeing someone else  
 
Now here's a me, you've never seen before  
As you're watching me walk right out the door  
Why should I keep holding on  
When I know someone new is holding you  
Why should I keep holding on  
I gotta let go, cuz love's already gone
