Richard Marx
Still Holding Out For You
[Verse 1]
Never thought I'd be in this place
It's someone else's life I'm living
Wish I were living a lie
The hardest part is when the bough breaks
Falling down and then forgiving
You didn't kiss me goodbye
I'm choking on the words I didn't get to say
And pray I get the chance one day

[Chorus]
I still run, I still swing open the door
I still think, you'll be there like before
Doesn't everybody out there know to never come around
Some things the heart won't listen to
I'm still holding out for you, yeah

[Verse 2]
I can hear you smile in the dark
I can even feel your breathing
But daylight chases the ghosts (Chases the ghosts)
I see your coat and I fall apart
To those hints of you I'm clinging
Now's when I need them most
I should get up, dry my eyes and move ahead
At least that's what you would have said, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I still run, I still swing open the door
I still think you'll be there like before
Doesn't everybody out there know to never come around
Some things the heart won't listen to
I'm still holding out for you

[Bridge]
Faithfully, I trace your name while you sleep
It's the the only true comfort I feel, yeah

I still run, I still swing open the door
I still think you'll be there like before

[Outro]
I still run, I still swing open the door
I still think, you'll be there like before
Well, doesn't everybody out there know to never come around
Some things the heart won't listen to
I'm still holding out, out for you
(Holding out) Holding out for you
