Del Amitri - No Holding On

Look behind these eyes, honey, what do you see?
I'm not sure that I know
And if it's the man that you imagined was me
Make sure that he knows there's no holding on

I told you some secrets and I told you some lies
Just 'cause you were near
And if you didn't love me with those deep brown eyes
I might not still be here; there's no holding on

And if you had to leave me honey I wouldn't care
I put no faith in dreams
And someday you might walk away and leave me somewhere
'Cause that's what freedom means: there's no holding on

Hold onto your memories
But don't hold onto love
Love's got a knack of disappearing
Leaving you the lonely one
Leaving you still holding on

Five little knuckles holding one little hand
Just to keep it warm
So don't start thinking that I'm that kind of man
'Cause habits will get born; there's no holding on

Hold onto your memories
But don't hold onto love
Love's got a knack of disappearing
Leaving you the lonely one
Leaving you still holding on

And if you had to leave me honey I wouldn't care
I put no faith in dreams
And someday you might walk away and leave me somewhere
'Cause that's what freedom means: there's no holding on
There's no holding on....
