  • I know there's pain
    Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
    No one can change your life except for you
    Don't ever let anyone step all over you
    Just open your heart and your mind
    Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

    Some day somebody's gonna make you
    Want to turn around and say goodbye
    Until then, baby, are you going to let them
    Hold you down and make you cry?
    Don't you know?
    Don't you know things can change
    Things'll go your way
    If you hold on for one more day
    Can you hold on for one more day
    Things'll go your way
    Hold on for one more day

    You could sustain
    Or are you comfortable with the pain?
    You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness (no baby)
    You got yourself into your own mess
    Lettin' your worries pass you by
    Baby, don't you think it's worth your time
    To change your mind?

    Some day somebody's gonna make you
    Want to turn around and say goodbye
    Until then, baby, are you going to let them
    Hold you down and make you cry
    Don't you know?
    Don't you know things can change
    Things'll go your way
    If you hold on for one more day
    Can you hold on for one more day
    Things'll go your way
    Hold on for one more day

    I know that there is pain
    But you hold on for one more day and
    Break free from the chains
    Yeah, I know that there is pain
    But you hold on for one more day and you
    Break free, break from the chains

    Some day somebody's gonna make you
    Want to turn around and say goodbye
    Until then, baby, are you going to let them
    Hold you down and make you cry?
    Don't you know?
    Don't you know things can change
    Things'll go your way
    If you hold on for one more day yeah
    If you hold on

    Don't you know things can change
    Things'll go your way
    If you hold on for one more day
    If you hold on
    Can you hold on
