Let the tears fall like rain if that’s what it takes
To wash away a memory
Let the hurt take its time, I don’t mind waiting
If that’s the way it’s gotta be
I’ll keep holding on til the heartache’s gone
All the might-have-beens and the never-will-bes
They can never take your place
But they’re all that’s left of all that ever mattered to me
And they fill this empty space
I’ll keep holding on til the heartache’s gone
I’ll make believe you still love me til the heartache is gone
I’ll pretend you still care til the heartache is gone
You’ll always be here til the heartache is gone
Oh I’ve been thinking through the pain of losing you
That’s the way it’s gotta be
I’ll keep holding on, no matter how long
Til the heartache’s gone
