[Verse 1]

You waste your days away

Dreaming of saying the words

Tell her the many ways

You would love her if you could

The center of your world

She is there making it turn

Folding your hands to pray

Wishing you were holding hers

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, you're tangled in the strings of a web

And on her, you place your whole happiness

But she'll never be able to confess

She returns the same thoughts you possess

[Chorus]

When you want

What you can't have

Do you love

What won't love back?

[Verse 2]

She smilеs for everyone

Tеll yourself that it's for you

When she's here, the pain is gone

And the sun kisses the moon

High praise and lifted hands

You can't help yourself, I understand

It's a strange kind of power she holds on you

And it seems every hour it's growing too

[Pre-Chorus]

But you're tangled in the strings of a web

And on her, you place your whole happiness

But she'll never be able to confess

She returns the same thoughts you possess

[Chorus]

When you want

What you can't have

Do you love

What won't love back?

[Bridge]

Holding on, you're holding on

To nothing more and nothing less

Holding on, you're holding on

To all those empty promises

[Chorus]

When you want

What you can't have

Do you love

What won't love back?

When you want (When you want)

What you can't have (What you can't have)

Do you love (Do you love)

What won't love back?

[Outro]

Holding on, you're holding on
