[Verse 1]
I try to see your good intentions
Why I cannot reach your heart
I know our love isn't what it used to be

[Verse 2]
And now, after all we've said and done
How do we keep the rising sun from shutting down?
Are we what we pretend to be?

[Chorus 1]
And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

[Verse 3]
For a while we thought we had it all, a thousand lies
They only fed the height that couldn't last
Are we what we pretend to be?

[Chorus 1]
And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on
[Chorus 2]
For they were right
All along
And I couldn't see
I should've let you known
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

[Bridge]
Somehow, it all fell apart
And we knew it right from the start

[Chorus 1]
And we couldn't find
What we were looking for
We failed to read
The writing on the wall
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on

[Chorus 2]
For they were right
All along
And I couldn't see
I should've let you known
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on
