Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough
Until your heart stops beatin'
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
Until your heart
[Verse 2]
You call me on the phone
You left me all alone
All I get from you is shellshock
Another day goes by and all I do is cry
All I get from you is shellshock
[Verse 3]
I'd tell the world and save my soul
Rain falls down and I feel cold
A cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart
[Verse 4]
That's the way (That's the way) that I can win (Ah)
A victim of (That's the way) your evil sin (Ah)
You've lost the hold (That's the way) you had on me (Ah)
By causing the changes
That you never see
[Verse 5]
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough
Until your heart stops beatin'
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
[Verse 6]
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough
Until your heart stops beatin'
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
Hold on until your heart
[Verse 7]
When we walk through open doorways
Counting time in one or more ways
We can't find our peace of mind
And lie becomes a life of crime
[Verse 8]
That's the day (That's the way) I call your name (Ah)
I came to you, (That's the way) I called in vain (Ah)
You lost the faith (That's the way) within your heart (Ah)
The fire in your soul
From the end to the start
[Verse 9]
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough
Until your heart stops beatin'
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
Hold on until your heart
Until your heart
Until your heart
[Verse 10]
That's, that
[Verse 11]
That's the way (That's the way) that I can win (Ah)
A victim of (That's the way) your evil sin (Ah)
You've lost the faith (That's the way) within your heart (Ah)
The fire in your soul
From the end to the start
[Verse 12]
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough
Until your heart stops beatin'
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
[Verse 13]
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough
Until your heart stops beatin'
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
[Verse 14]
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough
Until your heart stops beatin'
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game
Until your heart stops beatin'
[Verse 15]
Hold on, it's never enough
