  • 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

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

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

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

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

    Oh, why can't you just tell me?
