[Verse 1]
So when should I leave and where should I go
I feel I'm losing myself (losing myself)
And where will I be when I let you go (I let you go)
I keep abusing myself (I keep abusing myself)

[Chorus]
Why do I hold on while you walk away
Hold on, no matter what you tell me
I make believe, you may believe, I don't believe it
Why do I hold on, yeah (while you walk away)

[Verse 2]
And I still believe, it's useless, I know
I keep on losing myself (losing myself)
And I still can't believe my soul cut so low (cut so low)
I keep abusing myself (I keep abusing myself)

[Chorus]
Why do I hold on while you walk away
Hold on, no matter what you tell me
I make believe, you may believe, I don't believe it
Why do I hold on, yeah (while you walk away)

(While you walk away)
Why do I do this to myself

[Bridge]
You wasn't there for me (you wasn't there for me)
You walk away from me (you walk away from me)
You made a mess of me (you wasn't there for me)
Don't walk away from me (don't walk away from me)

[Chorus]
Why do I hold on while you walk away
Hold on, no matter what you tell me
I make believe, you may believe, I don't believe it
Why do I hold on, yeah (while you walk away)

[Outro]
(While you walk away)
I know I do this to myself
I know I do this to myself
Why do I do this to myself
