[Verse 1]
And when you swear that you're starin' at a stranger
And everythin' that they're sayin' is true
But you know, it's too late
You can't change her
And the wait can't be coming too soon

[Chorus]
Hold on
You never can give up easy
Hopeless
You'll carry it through
'Cause it hurts to give up on somebody
When that somebody is you

[Verse 2]
Well, you'll always get what you ask for
You know, the easy road don't cut through
And your life is a total disaster
But you're too scared to be askin' for proof

[Chorus]
Hold on
You never can give up easy
Hopeless
You'll carry it through
Ain’t it hard to show up for somebody
When that somеbody is you
Oh
[Outro]
To be young
And on your own
Carry it all
And never grow up
To bе young
And on my own
