I'm staying here where I'm stuck
Living in regret
I wish we hadn't met
I love too hard and too long
I can't let it go when it's gone
Squeeze too tight it slips out of grasp
I can't make anything good last

This heart of gold
Is growing cold
Hunger for a nurturement I wish I had a dad
I'd tell him about the life that I used to have
Would it be easier to say goodbye
If I hadn't had to watch him die
Holding on, holding on
Squeeze that hand until it's lifeless
Holding on, holding on
That's all this life is

Your confusions not mine to carry
But my delusions are fucking scary
We each did what we had to do
What was right for me wasn't right for you

Don't take the fight out of me
I need the twilight to see
I want to grow to be old
And I'm going to keep my fucking heart of gold
Don't take the fight out of me
I need the twilight to see
I want to grow to be old
And I'm going to keep my fucking heart of gold
