[Verse 1]
Cross my heart, hope to die
I pray to God and I wonder why
The water's cold, the air is thin
My heart is lost and I'm sinking in
'Til my pain is gone and my mind is free
I'll fight for you, will you fight for me?
On this battlefield, there's no right or wrong
I just hope to have the strength to carry on and on

[Chorus]
How could I have ever known
That I was stuck in time and you were moving on?
A paradise we couldn't find
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
How could I have ever known
That I was stuck in time and you were moving on?
A paradise we couldn't find
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
I'm still holding on
I'm still holding on

[Verse 2]
Petty thoughts, fickle friends
Stood by me up until the end
Better or worse, that's what you say
'Til the worst comes and you fade away
Now my pain is strong and my mind is weak
I fought for you but you ain't fight for me
I lost for you but you didn't lose at all
Let me tryna find a way to carry on and on

[Chorus]
How could I have ever known
That I was stuck in time and you were moving on?
A paradise we couldn't find
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
How could I have ever known
That I was stuck in time and you were moving on?
A paradise we couldn't find
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
I'm still holding on
I'm still holding on

[Chorus]
How could I have ever known
That I was stuck in time and you were moving on?
A paradise we couldn't find
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
How could I have ever known
That I was stuck in time and you were moving on?
A paradise we couldn't find
'Cause you were letting go and I was holding on
