[Verse 1]
She said she loved me all night long
I couldn't help but let her string my heart along
I knew better, I still do, but I'm not the first man
Who's ever played the fool

[Chorus]
So tell me, why do I keep holding on?
Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Tell me, why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, then tell me

[Verse 2]
I won't point the finger but I'll take the blame
'Cause I saw her coming from a million miles away
I should've fought the feeling, but I gave in
'Cause those lying blue eyes kept on pulling me back in

[Chorus]
So tell me, why do I keep holding on?
Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?
And tell me, why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, well, then tell me

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
So tell me, why do I keep holding on?
Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?
And tell me, why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, somebody knows, then tell me

[Outro]
Oh, why can't you just tell me if you know?
