"holding On"

I've been holding on for life, for love, for us, for me, I thought the storm would pass by now, so that we both my see, But the skies are even darker, than they were the day before, And the distant sound of thunder, says that soon the rain will pour, The cold wind stings, and takes its toll, each time that we lash out, And its one step back, from where we were, when you live in love and doubt, The rain pours down upon me, I've been holding on so long, I thought by now you'd know me, but I've never been so wrong, The stars once shined above our heads, now it seems like its been years, And I haven't seen a clear night yet, but its hard to see through tears, I wonder if the chance we had, is all we threw away, Or just how much, that we have lost, for things we didn't say.
