Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She said she loved me all night long
I couldn't help but let her string my heart along
I knew better, I still do, but I'm not the first man
Who's ever played the fool
[Verse 2]
So tell me, why do I keep holdin' on?
Oh, why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Tell me, why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, then tell me
[Verse 3]
I won't point the finger, but I'll take the blame
'Cause I saw her comin' from a million miles away
I should've fought the feeling, but I gave in
'Cause those lyin' blue eyes kept on pullin' me back in
[Verse 4]
So tell me, why do I keep holdin' on?
Oh, why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Then tell me, why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, well, then tell me
[Verse 5]
So tell me, why do I keep holdin' on?
Oh, why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Then tell me, why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, somebody knows
Then tell me
[Verse 6]
Oh, why can't you just tell me if you know?
